Alexander Bittner
Alexander Bittner (16 March 1850, Friedland – 31 March 1902, Vienna) was an Austrian paleontologist and geologist.
Following graduation from the University of Vienna in 1873, he remained in Vienna as an assistant to Eduard Suess. In 1874-76 he conducted geological research in Italy and Greece, followed by an internship at the Imperial Institute of Geology in Vienna (1877). In 1897 he was appointed chief geologist of the institute.[1][2]
Bittner is known for his stratigraphic-paleontological research of the eastern Alps, especially studies involving brachiopods from the Alpine Triassic Period.[1][2] He was among the first scientists to study the effects of the Belluno earthquake that occurred in northern Italy on 29 June 1873.[3]
