Yajima, Michiko (Author)
A chance discovery of fusilinid fossils in a stone exhibit and the observation of decorative rocks samples in a Japanese garden, at an exposition in Vienna, in 1873, served as an unlikely catalyst for the introduction of western geological knowledge to Japan. The description and publication of these findings by the German geologist and palaeontologist Karl Wilhelm von Gümbel, alerted Japanese officials to the potential benefits to their country in applying western teaching and practices in geology in Japan. The appointment of the young geologist Edmund Naumann by the Japanese government, led to considerable advances in the teaching of geology and to the production of geological maps.
