Peter Pervesler, gifted scientist, valued colleague and beloved friend, passed away in 2015 at the age of 64 years old. We feel obliged to recall his life and unforgotten collaboration with him. Peter Pervesler (Fig. 1) passed secondary modern school (Realschule) in Ettenreichgasse, Vienna; however, his family was generally connected to Salzburg in Austria. He studied at the Faculty of Philosophy of Vienna University from 9.10.1969 until 5.07.1985. During his study, he worked as a half-time photographer at the Department of Palaeontology of Vienna University from 1969 to 1971 and as an agent and seller in his parents’ business. After finishing palaeontological studies, he started to work as a half-time assistant at the Department of Palaeontology (University of Vienna). In 1985, Peter earned his PhD degree, which was entitled ‘Zum Vergleich fossiler und rezenter Crustaceenbauten’ [Comparison of fossil and recent crustacean traces]. Since that time up to 1986, he worked for a half-time contract assistant, afterwards as a full-time assistant professor. In 2003, he got a habilitation degree in palaeontology and became an associate professor. He taught invertebrate palaeontology, led preparation courses in the laboratory and in the field, guided palaeontological excursions, which were organized every year in a different European country and organized many field courses, especially actuopalaeontological courses for biology and earth science students. Peter paid a lot of attention to these courses, especially preparing detailed guidebooks. Since his PhD, ichnology was the important and become his dominant research topic. His early interest was directed to crustacean burrows as fossil examples were easily available in the Miocene molasse sediments of the Alpine Foredeep or the Vienna Basin. These sediments were studied during most of his career. Recent crustacean burrows were also studied in the Red Sea, mainly in the Safaga Bay in Egypt, and in the northern Adriatic Sea. They constituted some of the first research of this type in these regions. In addition to his careful, critical and open-mind approach to research, Peter was very skilled in preparatory work, using and developing different tools. He pioneered serial scrapping of friable sandstones containing crustacean burrows from the Miocene of Austria, redrawing of the surfaces with sections of the burrows to build a three-dimensional (3D) glass model (Pervesler 1983). He introduced an air jet from a compressor for blowing out trace fossils in friable sandstones (Fig. 2). By this technique, he obtained unique 3D observations and some of these specimens are housed in the University of Vienna. Peter organized excavation campaigns for fossils, where his skills in preparation and logistics were crucial. Especially valuable are skeletons of Miocene sirenians obtained by regular excavations. Neoichnological investigations were based on detailed mapping of habitats and epoxy casts of burrows (Pervesler 1990, 2003; Pervesler, Hohenegger, and Baal 2002a, b, 2005, 2010; Pervesler, Hohenegger, and Uchman 2005, 2010). He was able to obtain casts from record depths up to 50 m by means of scuba diving in the Bay of Safaga. In this way, burrows of some crustaceans have been closely elaborated (Pervesler and Dworschak 1985; Dworschak and Pervesler 1988, 2002). In collaboration with his PhD supervisor, Johann Hohenegger (University of Vienna), Peter Pervesler proved orientation of crustacean burrows and segments within the burrows in the northern Adriatic and in the Miocene of Austria (Hohenegger and Pervesler 1985; Pervesler and Hohenegger 2006). They demonstrated chemosymbiotic feeding in the bivalve Thyasira (Zuschin et al. 2001), which is also marked by the newly distinguished trace fossil ichnogenus and ichnospecies Saronichnus abeli (see Pervesler and Zuschin 2004). A lot of scientific effort was focussed on a drill core (mainly mudstones and siltstones) obtained from the stratotype area of the Badenian substage (Miocene) at Baden near Vienna, including its ichnological record of the Milankovitch cyclicity (Pervesler and Uchman 2007;

Peter Pervesler (1.09.1951–25.10.2015) 作为 Ichnologist 和同事

Peter Pervesler,天才科学家,重要的同事和挚爱的朋友,于 2015 年去世,享年 64 岁。我们觉得有必要回顾他的生活以及与他的难忘合作。Peter Pervesler(图 1)通过了位于维也纳 Ettenreichgasse 的现代中学(Realschule);然而,他的家人通常与奥地利的萨尔茨堡有联系。他于 1969 年 9 月 10 日至 1985 年 7 月 5 日在维也纳大学哲学系学习。在学习期间,他于 1969 年至 1971 年在维也纳大学古生物学系担任半职摄影师,并在其父母的企业中担任代理人和销售员。完成古生物学研究后,他开始在古生物学系(维也纳大学)担任半职助理。1985 年,彼得获得博士学位,题为“Zum Vergleich 化石和 rezenter Crustaceenbauten”[化石和最近甲壳类动物痕迹的比较]。从那时起直到 1986 年,他一直为半职合同助理工作,之后担任全职助理教授。2003年获得古生物学学士学位,成为副教授。他教授无脊椎动物古生物学,在实验室和野外指导预备课程,指导古生物学远足,这些远足每年在不同的欧洲国家组织,并组织了许多实地课程,特别是为生物学和地球科学学生开设的古生物学课程。彼得非常重视这些课程,特别是准备了详细的指南。自他获得博士学位以来,工业学一直是他的重要研究课题,并成为他的主要研究课题。他早期的兴趣是针对甲壳类洞穴,因为在高山前渊或维也纳盆地的中新世磨拉石沉积物中很容易找到化石样本。在他职业生涯的大部分时间里都对这些沉积物进行了研究。最近还在红海研究了甲壳类洞穴,主要是在埃及的萨法加湾和亚得里亚海北部。他们构成了这些地区的此类首批研究中的一些。除了谨慎、批判和开放的研究方法外,彼得还非常擅长准备工作、使用和开发不同的工具。他率先对包含来自奥地利中新世的甲壳类洞穴的易碎砂岩进行连续报废,重新绘制带有洞穴部分的表面以构建三维 (3D) 玻璃模型 (Pervesler 1983)。他引入了来自压缩机的空气喷射器,用于吹出易碎砂岩中的微量化石(图 2)。通过这种技术,他获得了独特的 3D 观察结果,其中一些标本存放在维也纳大学。彼得组织了化石挖掘活动,他在准备和后勤方面的技能至关重要。特别有价值的是通过定期挖掘获得的中新世海妖的骨骼。Neoichnological 调查基于对栖息地和洞穴环氧树脂铸件的详细测绘(Pervesler 1990, 2003; Pervesler, Hohenegger, and Baal 2002a, b, 2005, 2010; Pervesler, Hohenegger, and Uchman 2005, 2010)。通过在 Safaga 湾进行水肺潜水,他能够从最深达 50 m 的创纪录深度获得铸件。通过这种方式,一些甲壳类动物的洞穴得到了精心设计(Pervesler 和 Dworschak 1985;Dworschak 和 Pervesler,1988 年,2002 年)。与他的博士生导师 Johann Hohenegger(维也纳大学)合作,Peter Pervesler 证明了亚得里亚海北部和奥地利中新世的甲壳类洞穴和洞穴内部分的方向(Hohenegger 和 Pervesler 1985;Pervesler 和 Hohenegger 2006)。他们证明了双壳类动物 Thyasira 的化学共生摄食(Zuschin 等人,2001 年),这也以新发现的踪迹化石 ichnogenus 和 ichnospecies Saronichnus abeli 为标志(见 Pervesler 和 Zuschin 2004)。许多科学工作都集中在从维也纳附近巴登的巴登亚阶(中新世)的层型区域获得的钻芯(主要是泥岩和粉砂岩)上,包括其米兰科维奇循环的地质记录(Pervesler and Uchman 2007;2002)。与他的博士生导师 Johann Hohenegger(维也纳大学)合作,Peter Pervesler 证明了亚得里亚海北部和奥地利中新世的甲壳类洞穴和洞穴内部分的方向(Hohenegger 和 Pervesler 1985;Pervesler 和 Hohenegger 2006)。他们证明了双壳类动物 Thyasira 的化学共生摄食(Zuschin 等人,2001 年),这也以新发现的踪迹化石 ichnogenus 和 ichnospecies Saronichnus abeli 为标志(见 Pervesler 和 Zuschin 2004)。许多科学工作都集中在从维也纳附近巴登的巴登亚阶(中新世)的层型区域获得的钻芯(主要是泥岩和粉砂岩)上,包括其米兰科维奇循环的地质记录(Pervesler and Uchman 2007;2002)。与他的博士生导师 Johann Hohenegger(维也纳大学)合作,Peter Pervesler 证明了亚得里亚海北部和奥地利中新世的甲壳类洞穴和洞穴内部分的方向(Hohenegger 和 Pervesler 1985;Pervesler 和 Hohenegger 2006)。他们证明了双壳类动物 Thyasira 的化学共生摄食(Zuschin 等人,2001 年),这也以新发现的踪迹化石 ichnogenus 和 ichnospecies Saronichnus abeli 为标志(见 Pervesler 和 Zuschin 2004)。许多科学工作都集中在从维也纳附近巴登的巴登亚阶(中新世)的层型区域获得的钻芯(主要是泥岩和粉砂岩)上,包括其米兰科维奇循环的地质记录(Pervesler and Uchman 2007;Johann Hohenegger(维也纳大学)、Peter Pervesler 证明了亚得里亚海北部和奥地利中新世的甲壳类洞穴和洞穴内部分的方向(Hohenegger 和 Pervesler 1985;Pervesler 和 Hohenegger 2006)。他们证明了双壳类动物 Thyasira 的化学共生摄食(Zuschin 等人,2001 年),这也以新发现的踪迹化石 ichnogenus 和 ichnospecies Saronichnus abeli 为标志(见 Pervesler 和 Zuschin 2004)。许多科学工作都集中在从维也纳附近巴登的巴登亚阶(中新世)的层型区域获得的钻芯(主要是泥岩和粉砂岩)上,包括其米兰科维奇循环的地质记录(Pervesler and Uchman 2007;Johann Hohenegger(维也纳大学)、Peter Pervesler 证明了亚得里亚海北部和奥地利中新世的甲壳类洞穴和洞穴内部分的方向(Hohenegger 和 Pervesler 1985;Pervesler 和 Hohenegger 2006)。他们证明了双壳类动物 Thyasira 的化学共生摄食(Zuschin 等人,2001 年),这也以新发现的踪迹化石 ichnogenus 和 ichnospecies Saronichnus abeli 为标志(见 Pervesler 和 Zuschin 2004)。许多科学工作都集中在从维也纳附近巴登的巴登亚阶(中新世)的层型区域获得的钻芯(主要是泥岩和粉砂岩)上,包括其米兰科维奇循环的地质记录(Pervesler and Uchman 2007;Peter Pervesler 证明了亚得里亚海北部和奥地利中新世的甲壳类洞穴和洞穴内部分的方向(Hohenegger 和 Pervesler 1985;Pervesler 和 Hohenegger 2006)。他们证明了双壳类动物 Thyasira 的化学共生摄食(Zuschin 等人,2001 年),这也以新发现的踪迹化石 ichnogenus 和 ichnospecies Saronichnus abeli 为标志(见 Pervesler 和 Zuschin 2004)。许多科学工作都集中在从维也纳附近巴登的巴登亚阶(中新世)的层型区域获得的钻芯(主要是泥岩和粉砂岩)上,包括其米兰科维奇循环的地质记录(Pervesler and Uchman 2007;Peter Pervesler 证明了亚得里亚海北部和奥地利中新世的甲壳类洞穴和洞穴内部分的方向(Hohenegger 和 Pervesler 1985;Pervesler 和 Hohenegger 2006)。他们证明了双壳类动物 Thyasira 的化学共生摄食(Zuschin 等人,2001 年),这也以新发现的踪迹化石 ichnogenus 和 ichnospecies Saronichnus abeli 为标志(见 Pervesler 和 Zuschin 2004)。许多科学工作都集中在从维也纳附近巴登的巴登亚阶(中新世)的层型区域获得的钻芯(主要是泥岩和粉砂岩)上,包括其米兰科维奇循环的地质记录(Pervesler and Uchman 2007;他们证明了双壳类动物 Thyasira 的化学共生摄食(Zuschin 等人,2001 年),这也以新发现的踪迹化石 ichnogenus 和 ichnospecies Saronichnus abeli 为标志(见 Pervesler 和 Zuschin 2004)。许多科学工作都集中在从维也纳附近巴登的巴登亚阶(中新世)的层型区域获得的钻芯(主要是泥岩和粉砂岩)上,包括其米兰科维奇循环的地质记录(Pervesler and Uchman 2007;他们证明了双壳类动物 Thyasira 的化学共生摄食(Zuschin 等人,2001 年),这也以新发现的踪迹化石 ichnogenus 和 ichnospecies Saronichnus abeli 为标志(见 Pervesler 和 Zuschin 2004)。许多科学工作都集中在从维也纳附近巴登的巴登亚阶(中新世)的层型区域获得的钻芯(主要是泥岩和粉砂岩)上,包括其米兰科维奇循环的地质记录(Pervesler and Uchman 2007;
