Biography
editEmanuel Bunzel was born in Prague, Kingdom of Bohemia (today the Czech Republic), in 1828.
In 1871, he described a skull fragment found in an Austrian coal mine in 1859 by colleagues Ferdinand Stoliczka and Eduard Suess as the type specimen for the dinosaur genus Struthiosaurus,[1] the first discovered in the region. Another dinosaur he described initially as a species of Iguanodon (I. suessii) has since been reassigned to the genus Mochlodon,[2] also found in 1859 alongside Struthiosaurus.[3][4] Also in 1871, he named the crocodylomorph Crocodilus carcharidens (now Doratodon), the pterosaur "Ornithocheirus" buenzeli and the theropod dinosaur Megalosaurus schnaitheimi,[4] now believed to have been based upon remains referable to the metriorhynchid crocodylomorph Dakosaurus maximus.[5]
Bunzel died in 1895, aged 66–67.
