Alexandre Brongniart was a French zoologist, mineralogist, and chemist who worked with Georges Cuvier studying the geology of the Paris Basin in France. He was the director of the Sevres porcelain factory for 47 years and was responsible for the worldwide fame of the factory. He was professor at the Museum of Natural History in Paris, teaching mineralogy, and he established the basic principles of ceramic chemistry. Along with these accomplishments, he also made contributions to science by introducing a new classification of reptiles and contributed to stratigraphy through developing markers which can be used for dating sedimentary rock.(famousscientists dot org)
