Ernst Freiherr Stromer von Reichenbach (12 June 1871 - 18 December 1952), or simply Ernst Stromer, was a German paleontologist. He is best remembered for his expeditions to Egypt, where he found the first fossils of Spinosaurus.
He also discovered the following Cretaceous dinosaurs in Egypt: Aegyptosaurus, Bahariasaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, and the most famous of them all, Spinosaurus. He also discovered a large crocodilian, Stomatosuchus.
The majority of his fossil discoveries were destroyed in a bombing raid in Munich in World War II.[1]
