BIO NOTES: Dr. Anselm Windhausen (1882-1932) Anselm Windhausen was born in Lingen, Germany, on April 20th, 1882. He studied at the Gymnasium Josephinum in Hildesheim and, successively, at the universities of Berlin, Munich and G�ttingen, where he had among his teachers such renowned scientists as Ferdinand von Richthofen, Wilhelm Roentgen, Karl von Zittel, Wilhelm von Branca and Adolf von Koenen. He began his scientific work at the Unicorn Cave, in the Harz mountains of Germany, under a scholarship from the Virchow Foundation, conducting geological and paleontological studies whose basic conclusions were confirmed many years later. In those early years, he worked for G�ttingen's Geological-Paleontological Institute and the Roemers Museum in Hildesheim. In 1907, he obtained his Ph. D. in Geology at the University of G�ttingen and that same year he was appointed to take care of the geological and paleontological collections at the Provincial Museum in Hanover. On April 20th, 1909, when he was turning 27, he was hired by the Mines and Geology Division of Argentina's Ministry of Agriculture as a staff geologist. He moved to Argentina shortly thereafter. His first geological surveys in Argentina where conducted in the southern area of the province of Mendoza between 1909 and 1910. In 1910, he was in charge of organizing the mineralogical collection at the Centennial Exposition in Buenos Aires. Commissioned by the Argentine government, he organized the Mines and Geology Division exhibition at the Industries and Labor Exposition in Turin and Roubaix in 1911, in which he obtained a "Grand prix." Between 1912 and 1913, he began his first explorations in northern Patagonia to investigate the oil outcrops that had been reported in the late 19th century in the Cerro Lotena area of the province of Neuqu�n. In September of 1913, he recommended the exploitation of oil in what is today the Plaza Huincul field, during a lecture he gave at the Sociedad Cient�fica Argentina in Buenos Aires. (However, the merit of having discovered that oil field was wrongly attributed to one of his superiors, Dr. Hans Keidel, and it wasn't until 1972, some 60 years later, that Windhausen's achievement was finally recognized). In 1916, he resumed his explorations in the areas of R�o Negro and Neuqu�n to define the limits between the Cretaceous and the Jurassic. His conclusions were first published in 1918 in the American Journal of Science. In that study, he established the concept and nomenclature of the so-called 'Jag�el layers'. Subsequently, he extended his expeditions to the area south of Lake Nahuel Huap�, the Chubut River, Puerto Camarones, Puerto Madryn and other parts of Patagonia. He published his research on the Neocomian fauna at the National Academy of Sciences in C�rdoba, Argentina, of which he became a member a few years later, in 1922. He maintained important scientific correspondence on the controversy surrounding the theories of Florentino Ameghino wi.
