Auguste Bravard

}}
(Pierre Joseph) Auguste Bravard (18 June 1803 – 28 March 1861)〔〔 was a French mining engineer turned palaeontologist. He hunted fossils in the Vaucluse, Allier and his native Puy de Dôme.〔Lambrecht, Quenstedt 1938; Bravard, '' Monographie de la montagne de Perrier près d'Issoire (Puy-de-Dôme), et de deux espèces fossiles du genre Felis découvertes dans l'une de ses couches d'alluvion'', Paris 1828.〕
==Biography==
Bravard emigrated to Argentina in the winter of 1852-53 and was a long-term resident in Buenos Aires. He unearthed and studied mammalian fossils, some of which, like the skull of ''Mesotherium'', were sent back to the Muséum d'histoire naturelle, Paris. Pleistocene mammal fossils purchased from Bravard are also in the Museum of Natural History, South Kensington, London, transferred from the British Museum,〔"British Museum" according to Lambrecht, Quenstedt 1938.〕 which had purchased them from Bravard in 1854.〔''The History of the Collections Contained in the Natural History Departments of the British Museum'', ''s.v.'' "1854" (reprinted Adamant Media, 2000).〕 Bravard, who became director of the natural history museum in Paraná, upheld geological theories contrary to those of Charles Darwin.
From Buenos Aires, he explored in Bahía Blanca, resulting in his ''Mapa geológico y topográfico de los alrededores de Bahía Blanca, Buenos Aires'' (1857).〔Henry B. Sullivan, ''A Catalogue of Geological Maps of South America: With an index map,'' cat. no. 143a (1922:185).〕 He also explored the Paraná basin and the pampas.
Periodically Bravard lithographed his letters and distributed them to geologists in Europe.〔A lithographed circular received from Bravard is remarked in Charles Lyell's letter of 13–14 February 1860 to Charles Darwin, ((Darwin Correspondence Project: on-line )).〕
After his unexpected death in the Mendoza earthquake of 1861, his remarkable collection of fossils disappeared. At the turn of the twentieth century, an auction of unclaimed crates by the Buenos Aires customs office revealed the collection, which was handed over to the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Buenos Aires.〔Parodiz 1981:117.〕
At Issoire, he is commemorated in the rue August Bravard.
