Walter Georg Kühne (February 26, 1911 in Berlin – March 16, 1991 ibid.) was a German paleontologist, known as a "legendary explorer of Mesozoic mammals".He graduated in March 1930 from reform boarding school Schule am Meer on the island of Juist in Prussia. In 1958 he founded the Institute for Paleontology of the Free University of Berlin.His studies focused specifically on mesozoic microfauna, seeking to bring to light the history of the oldest mammals, which until the 1960s was almost unknown. Before him, findings of species of small size in the continental Mesozoic deposits had been mostly random.His efforts were concentrated more in excavations in lignite mines which he considered as preferred deposits for the remains of terrestrial vertebrates.Thanks to his efforts new species could b

  • Walter Georg Kühne (Berlino, 26 febbraio 1911 – 16 marzo 1991) è stato un paleontologo tedesco. Nel 1958 fondò a Berlino l'Institut für Paläontologie alla Freie Universität Berlin.È conosciuto come il "leggendario indagatore dei mammiferi mesozoici". I suoi studi si concentrarono in particolar modo sulla mesozoica. Cercò infatti di portare alla luce la storia più antica dell'evoluzione dei Mammiferi, che fino agli anni '60 era quasi sconosciuta. Prima di lui, i ritrovamenti di specie di piccole dimensioni nei depositi continentali mesozoici, come i mammiferi arcaici, erano sempre stati per lo più casuali. I suoi sforzi si concentrarono maggiormente in scavi nelle miniere di lignite che egli considerava come depositi preferenziali per i resti di vertebrati terrestri. In particolar modo credeva, a ragione, di poter rinvenire fossili meglio conservati che in altri giacimenti, come i riempimenti di fessure. Grazie ai suoi sforzi poterono essere descritte nuove specie che furono interpretate come i mammiferi più primitivi come Morganucodon o il Kuehneotherium, e ancora il rettile Oligokyphus, dalle caratteristiche vicine ai mammiferi. Fu il primo a scoprire l'immenso patrimonio paleontologico della famosa miniera di lignite in Portogallo e ad avviare scavi metodologici e accurati nella zona. (it)

He was the first to discover the immense paleontological heritage of the famous Guimarota lignite mine in Portugal to start methodological, accurate excavations in the area. [A. W.] Crompton tells the story of a German refugee named Walter Kuhne, who at the start of World War II walked into Cambridge University with teeth from a borderline mammal. "I know where to discover early mammals," he told the British paleontologist F. R. Parrington. Parrington was impressed enough to offer him £5 (about $35 then) for every additional tooth he brought to the university. (en)
