La Contribution De Pierre François Marie Bourdet (1785-1824), Dit Le Chevalier Bourdet De La Nièvre, À La Paléontologie REVUE DE VOLUME 35 (1 ) – 2016 PALÉOBIOLOGIE Une institution Ville de Genève www.museum-geneve.ch Revue de Paléobiologie, Genève (juin 2016) 35 (1) : 1-110 ISSN 0253-6730 La contribution de Pierre François Marie Bourdet (1785-1824), dit le Chevalier Bourdet de la Nièvre, à la paléontologie Arnaud BRIGNON 5 villa Jeanne d’Arc, F-92340 Bourg-la-Reine, France. E-mail : [email protected] Résumé Ancien militaire français dans l’armée impériale, Pierre François Marie Bourdet se consacra à l’étude des fossiles entre 1820 et 1824 alors qu’il résidait à Genève. Ses travaux dans le domaine de la paléontologie n’étaient connus jusqu’alors que par quelques allusions faites par Cuvier dans ses Recherches sur les ossemens fossiles et par de courtes notices publiées dans des comptes rendus de séances de sociétés savantes de l’époque. Deux mémoires manuscrits de Bourdet conservés à la Bibliothèque de Genève et à la Bibliothèque centrale du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (Paris) permettent de faire la lumière sur son travail à une époque cruciale dans le développement de l’anatomie comparée et de la paléontologie. Ces travaux inédits sont intitulés « Histoire naturelle des ichthyodontes, ou dents de poissons fossiles » et « Mémoire sur différentes espèces de tortues fossiles ». La correspondance de Bourdet avec Alexandre Brongniart, Georges Cuvier, Henri-Marie Ducrotay de Blainville, Bernhard Studer et le prince Christian Frederik de Danemark permet de préciser le contexte historique de ces deux études. Les dessins accompagnant ces travaux inédits révèlent des fossiles qui étaient conservés dans les collections de la famille Deluc, Karl August Friedrich Meisner, Jakob Samuel Wyttenbach, Charles-Aloyse Fontaine et celle du prince Christian Frederik de Danemark. Plusieurs de ces spécimens historiques, découverts pour la plupart il y a plus de deux cents ans, ont pu ainsi être retrouvés au Muséum d’histoire naturelle de la ville de Genève et au Naturhistorisches Museum der Burger- gemeinde Bern. Bourdet est le premier à avoir utilisé la nomenclature binominale pour les chéloniens fossiles. Il est également un des premiers à avoir eu l’idée de publier une étude entièrement consacrée aux dents de « poissons » fossiles (Chondrichthyes et Actinopte- rygii), dix ans avant les travaux de Louis Agassiz. L’analyse détaillée des figures données par Bourdet révèle cependant des plagiats, des falsifications et des fabrications de données. Sa soif de reconnaissance par ses pairs et son empressement à être élu membre des plus prestigieuses sociétés savantes semblent avoir été les motivations principales qui poussèrent Bourdet à falsifier une partie de ses travaux pour les rendre plus attractifs. Cette étude dévoile ainsi un des premiers cas de fraude scientifique dans le domaine de la paléontologie. Mots-clés Histoire de la paléontologie, Georges Cuvier, Elasmobranchii, Actinopterygii, Chelonii, Aptychus, fraude scientifique. Abstract The contribution of Pierre François Marie Bourdet (1785-1824), known as Chevalier Bourdet de la Nièvre, to palaeontology.- Former soldier in the French Imperial army, Pierre François Marie Bourdet focused his interest on studying fossils while living in Geneva between 1820 and 1824. His work in the field of palaeontology was hitherto known only by a few references made by Cuvier in his Recherches sur les ossemens fossiles and short notices and abstracts published in meeting proceedings of learned societies of that time. Two manuscripts from Bourdet’s hand kept in the Geneva Library and the Central Library of the “Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle” (Paris) shed light on his work at a crucial time for the development of comparative anatomy and palaeontology. These unpu- blished manuscripts are entitled “Histoire naturelle des ichthyodontes, ou dents de poissons fossilesˮ [Natural history of ichthyodonts, or fossil fish teeth] and “Mémoire sur différentes espèces de tortues fossilesˮ [Memoir on different species of fossil chelonians]. Bour- det’s correspondence with Alexandre Brongniart, Georges Cuvier, Henri-Marie Ducrotay de Blainville, Bernhard Studer and Prince Christian Frederik of Denmark provides further details on the historical context of these two studies. The drawings accompanying these unpublished works reveal fossils that were preserved in the collections of the Deluc family, Karl August Friedrich Meisner, Jakob Samuel Wyttenbach, Charles-Aloyse Fountain and Prince Christian Frederik of Denmark. Some of these historical specimens, discov- ered more than two hundred years ago, are still kept in the Muséum d’histoire naturelle de la ville de Genève and the Naturhistorisches Museum der Burgergemeinde Bern. Bourdet was the first to use binomial nomenclature for fossil chelonians and the first to have the idea to publish a study entirely devoted to fossil fish teeth (Chondrichthyes and Actinopterygii), ten years before the works of Louis Agassiz. However, detailed analysis of the drawings in Bourdet’s works reveals plagiarism and falsifications. His thirst for recognition by his peers and his willingness to be elected as a member of the most prestigious learned societies prompted him to falsify part of his work to make it more attractive. This survey reveals an early example of scientific fraud in the domain of palaeontology.

  • Glarichelys Knorri (Gray)-A Cheloniid from Carpathian Menilitic Shales (Poland)
    ACT A P A L A E 0 ~ T 0 LOG I CA P 0 LON IC A Vol. IV I 9 5 9 No . 2 MARIAN MLYN ARSKI GLARICHELYS KNORRI (GRAY) - A CHELONIID FROM CARPATHIAN MENILITIC SHALES (POLAND) Abstract . - The fossil remains here described belonged to a young indiv id ual of Glarichelys knorri (Gray), a sea turtle. They were collected from Carpathian me­ nilitic shales at Winnica near Jaslo. Its systematic position is discussed a nd general comments are made on some fossil and recent sea turtles, on problems concerning their mo rphology, on the taxonomic significance of p halanges in fossil sea turtles, a nd on the presence in cheloniids of foramina praenucha lia. Biological and ecological notes concernin g G. knorri (Gray) are likewise given. INTRODUCTlION The fossil sea turtle remains here described have been collected from an outcrop in the steep bank of the Jasiolka stream, near the Winnica farm, about 10 km to the east of Jaslo (P olish Carpathians). The specimen was found in greyish-brown menilitic shales intercalating the Kr osno sandstone beds, about 30 m above the foot of the men tioned bank. Unfortunately, the geological age of these beds has not, as yet, been definitely established. On their microfauna it is probably Lower Oligocene or Upper Eocene 1. The vertebrate fauna from the Jaslo area has lately attracted the attention of palaeontologists. Abundant and we ll preserved bon y fish remains have been collected there.They belong to several families, mostly to Clupeidae and Gadidae. They are n ow being worked out by A .J erz­ manska (1958) of the Wroclaw University.

  • The Glarus Alps, Knowledge Validation, and the Genealogical Organization of Nineteenth-Century Swiss Alpine Geognosy
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by RERO DOC Digital Library Science in Context 22(3), 439–461 (2009). Copyright C Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/S0269889709990081 Printed in the United Kingdom Inherited Territories: The Glarus Alps, Knowledge Validation, and the Genealogical Organization of Nineteenth-Century Swiss Alpine Geognosy Andrea Westermann Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich Argument The article examines the organizational patterns of nineteenth-century Swiss Alpine geology. It argues that early and middle nineteenth-century Swiss geognosy was shaped in genealogical terms and that the patterns of genealogical reasoning and practice worked as a vehicle of transmission toward the generalization of locally gained empirical knowledge. The case study is provided by the Zurich geologist Albert Heim, who, in the early 1870s, blended intellectual and patrilineal genealogies that connected two generations of fathers and sons: Hans Conrad and Arnold Escher, Albert and Arnold Heim. Two things were transmitted from one generation to the next, a domain of geognostic research, the Glarus Alps, and a research interest in an explanation of the massive geognostic anomalies observed there. The legacy found its embodiment in the Escher family archive. The genealogical logic became visible and then experienced a crisis when, later in the century, the focus of Alpine geology shifted from geognosy to tectonics. Tectonic research loosened the traditional link between the intimate knowledge of a territory and the generalization from empirical data. 1. Introduction In 1878, Albert Heim (1849–1937) published a monograph on the anatomy of folds and the related mechanisms of mountain building based on what he had observed in the Glarus district of Mounts Todi¨ and Windgallen,¨ an area where, in today’s calculation, rocks aged between 250 and 300 million years overlie much younger rocks aged about 50 million years.

E-mail : [email protected] Résumé Un inventaire des premiers poissons fossiles (Teleostei) découverts au XVIIIe siècle dans les ardoises d’Engi (Oligocène inférieur, canton de Glaris, Suisse) est présenté dans cet article. Ces poissons étaient alors assimilés à des espèces encore vivantes. La première véritable étude scientifique sur le sujet fut menée par Henri-Marie Ducrotay de Blainville à la fin des années 1810. Il est notamment le premier à avoir employé la nomenclature linnéenne pour désigner des espèces éteintes dans l’ichtyofaune des ardoises d’Engi. Alors que très peu de renseignements étaient disponibles jusqu’à présent sur cet épisode de l’histoire de la paléontologie, cet article présente des documents inédits qui illustrent une partie du matériel type de la collection Alexandre Brongniart utilisé par Blainville pour créer deux de ces espèces. Des recherches dans les collections de paléontologie de l’Université Pierre et Marie Curie et du Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (Paris) ont permis de retrouver les holotypes par monotypie de Clupea megaptera Blainville, 1818, Pristigenys spinosus (Blainville, 1818) et « Zeus » platessa Blainville, 1818. Cet article retrace également l’histoire de dessins inédits qui dévoilent des spécimens en possession de William Willoughby Cole et Philip de Malpas Grey Egerton, deux aristocrates britanniques, élèves du géologue William Buckland.

  • James Hutton's Reputation Among Geologists in the Late Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries
    The Geological Society of America Memoir 216 Revising the Revisions: James Hutton’s Reputation among Geologists in the Late Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries A. M. Celâl Şengör* İTÜ Avrasya Yerbilimleri Enstitüsü ve Maden Fakültesi, Jeoloji Bölümü, Ayazağa 34469 İstanbul, Turkey ABSTRACT A recent fad in the historiography of geology is to consider the Scottish polymath James Hutton’s Theory of the Earth the last of the “theories of the earth” genre of publications that had begun developing in the seventeenth century and to regard it as something behind the times already in the late eighteenth century and which was subsequently remembered only because some later geologists, particularly Hutton’s countryman Sir Archibald Geikie, found it convenient to represent it as a precursor of the prevailing opinions of the day. By contrast, the available documentation, pub- lished and unpublished, shows that Hutton’s theory was considered as something completely new by his contemporaries, very different from anything that preceded it, whether they agreed with him or not, and that it was widely discussed both in his own country and abroad—from St. Petersburg through Europe to New York. By the end of the third decade in the nineteenth century, many very respectable geologists began seeing in him “the father of modern geology” even before Sir Archibald was born (in 1835). Before long, even popular books on geology and general encyclopedias began spreading the same conviction. A review of the geological literature of the late eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries shows that Hutton was not only remembered, but his ideas were in fact considered part of the current science and discussed accord- ingly.

Access to maps, globes and measuring instruments was also included in the plans for the Library Hall. Library Hall The decisive breakthrough leading to the conversion of the Central Library came in 1784. By virtue of his post [Stiftschaffner], Johann Friedrich von Ryhiner (1732-1803) oversaw the Hohe Schule (the forerunner of Berne University) and the Library. The Library was equipped with an anteroom (today the Hallersaal at the Burghers' Library) and a Library Hall (today the Schultheissen Room at the Central Library), which was ready for use in 1794. The portraits of former Schultheissen or mayors, which gave the room its name, were not.transferred to the Library until 1857. The Library Hall in Berne, which is of the type known as a gallery library, has a restrained elegance on account of its narrow width and the lighting from both sides. The ceiling painting by lgnaz Franz Keil (ea. 1744-1814), dated 1789, shows the coronation of Minerva by Apollo. The seven liberal arts are gathered on Mount Parnassus: astronomy (Ptolemy), music (Tubal­ Cain), geometry (Euclid), arithmetic (Pythagoras), rhetoric (Cicero), dialectics (Aristotle) and grammar (Priscian).
