⏹ Lyell, Sir Charles Lyell, Sir Charles

Scottish geologist (1797 - 1875)
Lyell learned at Oxford and worked as a lawyer, but he soon abandoned the legal profession and was drawn to the study of geology (earth science), so he succeeded in it and gained wide fame. • Lyell divided the third era (Tertiary) into the Eocene, Miocene, and Pliocene (Miocene, Pliocene Eocene).
Then he added the Pleistocene, and Layl wrote a book entitled: Principles of Geology in which he refused to interpret geological events on the basis of unseen catastrophes (Catastrophism).
Lyell is considered one of the founders of modern geology, and he mentions that he lost his sight in his late days.
