Appearance
Otto A. Zdansky (28 November 1894 – 26 December 1988) was an Austrian paleontologist.
He is best known for his work in China, where he, as an assistant to Johan Gunnar Andersson, discovered a fossil tooth of the Peking Man in 1921 at the Dragon Bone Hill, although he did not disclose it until 1926 [1] when he published it in Nature after an analysis by Davidson Black.[1]
He is also famous for his excavations of mammal fossils in Baode County area (Pao Te Hsien), Shanxi Province.[2]
