Manuel Santillán Osorno (September 29, 1894〔Ai Camp, Roderic. "Santillan Osorno, Manuel"'' Mexican political biographies, 1935–1993.'' Third edition. Austin: University of Texas Press, 1995 : 661–663〕 – October 12, 1982) was a Mexican geological engineer and politician. Manuel Santillán, the youngest of three sons (Adalberto, the oldest, and Isuaro, in the middle), was born on September 29, 1894, in the Hacienda de Xalostoc (Tlaxco, Tlaxcala), to Calixto Santillan and Manuela Osorno. Santillán finished preparatory studies at Universidad Veracruzana in Jalapa, Veracruz and later received three engineering degrees. The first in geology and geodesic engineering; the second degree in Mining and Metallurgical Engineering; and the third in civil engineering from the School of Engineering at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). ==Early career== He began his career as a mining engineer in Pachuca, Hidalgo in 1919. With Tomas Barrera, Santillán conducted explorations in northern Baja California in 1928. They published their results with a geological map in 1930. Many of the fossils obtained by Santillan and Barrera near Arroyo Santa Catarina were left at the University of California (Loc. 647 U. C. Coll.).〔Powell Calvert, Philip. "The odonate collections of the California Academy of Sciences from Baja California and Tepic, Mexico, of 1889–1894." ''Proceedings of the California academy of sciences'', (Francisco ) 4th ser. 23 . 41(1947) : 603–609〕 He was named Chief of Geologists for Mining and Petroleum in the Mexican Department of Industry and Commerce in 1929. In April 1929, Leopoldo Salazar Salinas, Director of the Geological Institute of Mexico, commissioned Santillán to study the mineral deposits of Pachuca and their relation to Miocene rocks. He published the report in 1931. From 1931, Santillán and Enrique M. González were the editors the journal ''Anuario'', published by the Instituto de Geología, Geofísica y Geodesia (UNAM). He was the Director of the Geological National Institute (Instituto de Geología, Geofísica y Geodesia) from January 21, 1932, to January 21, 1941. One of his first actions as director was to request the transfer of the duplicates of fossils and minerals, which were guarded by the Secretary Agriculture and Development, to the Geological National Institute (UNAM). In this way began to consolidate Collection of Paleontology at the Institute (Carreño and Montellano-Ballesteros 140).〔Carreño, Ana Luisa, y Montellano-Ballesteros, Marisol.

In 1934, he became Chief Geologist of the Department of National Economy. On November 9, 1936, Santillan opened the inaugural session of 146th Meeting of The American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers in Mexico City, November 9–15.〔"La Reunión en la Ciudad de México del Instituto Americano de Ingenieros de Minas y Metalurgistas." Boletín de la Sociedad Geológica Mexicana, 9 . 4 (1937) : 213-214 Manuel Santillán was named the Vice President of the ''Sociedad Geológica en México'' from 1936 to 1941.〔 *"Lista de los miembros de la Sociedad Geológica Mexicana hasta 1937" *Martínez Portillo, J.
