Otokar Feistmantel (other spellings include Otakar Feistmantl) (20 November 1848 - 10 February 1891) was a Czech-Austrian (born in Bohemia) geologist and paleontologist who studied in Prague and Berlin and worked with the Geological Survey of India in India where he replaced Ferdinand Stoliczka who died of altitude sickness on an expedition in 1874. Feistmantel described several genera and species of fossil plants from peninsular India and his work on the "Gondwana Series" contributed to the development of the idea of the ancient supercontinent of Gondwanaland.〔Feistmantel, O.

==Early life==
Otokar was the second son of Karl (or Karel) Feistmantel (1819–1885), an expert on mines who later took an interest in geology and palaentology and Františka, née Nechvátalová. Although most records note that he was born on 20 November 1848 at Stará Huť near Beroun, he recorded it as 21 November in an unpublished autobiographical note. Although of German ancestry Otokar's father spoke Czech at home and supported Czech nationalism. He received his early schooling at Křivoklát and Prague. He graduated from the Nové Město grammar school in 1867 and joined Prague University to study medicine. His interest in science was nurtured by his father's circle of friends who included the geologist Jan Krejčí, biologist Antonín Frič and cartographer Karel Kořistka.〔
