John Edward Marr FGS FRS (14 June 1857 – 1 October 1933) was a British geologist. After studying at Lancaster Royal Grammar School he matriculated to St John's College, Cambridge, graduating with First Class Honours in 1878. Following undergraduate work in the Lake District he travelled to Bohemia to investigate the fossil collection of Joachim Barrande, where his work won him the Sedgwick Prize in 1882. In 1886 Marr became University Lecturer at the University of Cambridge Department of Geology, a position he held for 32 years until he succeeded Thomas McKenny Hughes as Woodwardian Professor of Geology in 1917. Having retired as a professor in 1930, he died on 1 October 1933. ==Early life and education== Marr was born in Poulton-le-Sands on 14 June 1857 to John Marr, a retired silk merchant, and his wife Mary. After the family stayed in Caernarfon in 1863 Marr became interested in geology, having discovered a fossil which was named after him. From 1867 to 1875 he studied at the Lancaster Royal Grammar School, where he met R. H. Tiddeman, who took Marr on a number of field trips and geological surveys. In 1875 he matriculated to St John's College, Cambridge to study geology as an exhibitioner, having won a Foundation Scholarship.〔 There he studied under Thomas George Bonney and Thomas McKenny Hughes, graduating with First Class Honours in 1878.〔 As an undergraduate he published several papers, including one on his discovery of Cambrian fossils in Caernarfonshire that could not be accurately dated, something that occupied a lot of his later work.〔 In 1879 he became a Fellow of the Geological Society of London, and in 1881 he was elected a Fellow of St John's College.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lancashire Pioneers - John Edward Marr )〕
