Working with fossils at the Hunterian Museum: a glimpse into the lives of John Young, John Young and Ethel Currie

Clark, N.D.L. (2008) Working with fossils at the Hunterian Museum: a glimpse into the lives of John Young, John Young and Ethel Currie. In: 150th Anniversary of the Geological Society of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK, 23rd Feb 2008, pp. 31-35.

Abstract

The Hunterian Museum has been fortunate to have had some enlightened geological curators in its past history. Most notably from amongst these are the Carboniferous stratigrapher Ethel Currie of the twentieth century, and the illustrious, but perhaps confusing, John Youngs of the nineteenth century. All three of these geologists have made major contributions to our understanding of the geology of Glasgow as well as further afield.
