Abstract
LEANZA, Héctor A. The contributions of some distinguished geoscientist of the SEGEMAR to geological knowledge of the national territory. Ser. correl. geol. [online]. 2008, n.24, pp.165-178. ISSN 1666-9479.
This synthesis offers some of the most relevant contributions to the geological knowledge of the National Territory, personified through several outstanding figures, which worked in the SEGEMAR since the time of its foundation, with the idea to recall the young generations a vision of the significance and hierarchy of our ancestors. The election of the list, composed of 20 distinguished geoscientists, is the result of the own author's choice, including only already deceased people. Ten of these figures form part of a selected group of the "20 Great Masters of the Argentinean Geology" selected by the Asociación Geológica Argentina in occasion of its 50° anniversary. By order of entrance to the Institution, the list is the following: Walter Schiller (1879-1944), Juan Keidel (1886-1954), Ricardo Stappenbeck (1880-1963), Anselmo Windhausen (1882-1932), Enrique Gerth (1884-1971), Franco Pastore (1885-1958), Guido Bonarelli (1871- 1951), Pablo F. C. Groeber (1885-1964), Juan José Nágera (1887-1966), Roberto Beder (1885-1939), José María Sobral (1880-1961), Augusto Tapia (1893-1966), Ricardo Wichmann (1880-1930), Horacio J. Harrington (1910-1973), Félix González Bonorino (1918-1998), Juan C. M. Turner (1918-1979), Armando F.
