Euan Neilson Kerr Clarkson FRSE (1937 – 31 August 2024) was a British palaeontologist and writer.
Clarkson studied geology at the University of Cambridge and had a long career as a palaeontologist at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.[1] Clarkson's most notable research occurred in the study of trilobites (especially visual systems),[2][3] Paleozoic stratigraphy and the description of the anatomy of the Conodont[4] animal.[5]
Clarkson had a sustained record of publication and teaching, authored some 100+ papers and other publications, including a book that is widely regarded as the "standard"[1] palaeontological text for undergraduates.[6]
Clarkson was president of the Edinburgh Geological Society (1985–87), a trustee of the Natural History Museum (1987–92) and president of the Palaeontological Association (1998–2000).[7] Clarkson was awarded the Geological Society of London's Coke medal in 2010.[1]
