Reg Sprigg

Reginald Claude Sprigg, AO, HonDSc ANU, HonDSc Flinders, MSc Adelaide, FTSE (1 March 1919 – 2 December 1994) was an Australian geologist and conservationist. At 17 he became the youngest Fellow of the Royal Society of South Australia. During 1946, in the Ediacara Hills, South Australia he discovered the Ediacara biota, an assemblage of some of the most ancient animal fossils known. He was involved with oceanographic research and petroleum exploration by various companies which he initiated. During 1968, he acquired a derelict pastoral lease, Arkaroola, and transformed it into a wildlife sanctuary and wilderness reserve.
== Early life ==
Reginald Claude Sprigg was born 1 March 1919 on South Australia's Yorke Peninsula where his family were living in the small town of Stansbury.〔〔Government of South Australia. Index of Births registered in the Daly District. Dal 34A/74: Reginald Claude Sprigg〕 His parents were Claude Augustus Sprigg and Pearl Alice Irene née Germein, who had married on 17 September 1913 in Stansbury.〔Register of Marriages, Vol. 256, p. 776, Name: Pearl Alice Irene Germein, Father's name: John Germein, Spouse Name: Claude Augustus Sprigg, Spouse's Father's Name: Samuel Augustus Sprigg, Marriage Date: 17 September 1913, Marriage Place: Stansbury, Registration Place: Daly, South Australia〕 Reg was their third and youngest child, a brother to D'Arcy Kingsley〔Register of Births, South Australia, 1907-1916, page 484: Darcy Kingsley Sprigg〕 and Constance Vera〔Register of Births, South Australia, 1907-1916, p. 578: Constance Vera Sprigg〕 (Connie).
His father's family were pastoralists, whilst the Germein family were mariners.〔
〕 The Sprigg family had relocated to the Yorke Peninsula after being "forced off their pastoral lease at Oulnina because of drought".〔
〕 The Germein family were ship chandlers in (Mutton Cove, Devonport ), Plymouth, England: three brothers came to Australia.〔
〕 One, Ben Germein is remembered as a hero of the Admella rescue mission.
Before he was five years old, the family had relocated to the Adelaide suburb of Goodwood, which gave the young Reg access to the beach where he collected shells and fossils. This boyhood hobby developed into a serious interest in geology, which brought him into contact with the geoscientists at the University of Adelaide to whom he took collected samples for identification.
