R. J. G. Savage
Robert Joseph Gay Savage (2 July 1927 – 9 May 1998) was a British palaeontologist known as Britain's leading expert on fossil mammals.〔〔 He worked at the University of Bristol for nearly 40 years and studied fossils around the world, especially in North and East Africa.
==Early life==
Savage was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland on 2 July 1927 to an old family prominent in Ulster. He recalled a large rack of antlers of the extinct Irish elk mounted in the entrance hall of the family home, which colleague Michael Benton writes may have inspired Savage to pursue the study of fossil mammals.〔 He attended grammar school at Methodist College, Belfast and Wesley College, Dublin before and during the period of World War II. He enrolled in Queen's University Belfast, earning a BSc in Zoology (1948) and a first BSc in Geology (1949). For doctoral research, he was given a choice between working with Francis Rex Parrington at Cambridge University or D. M. S. Watson at University College London. He chose to work with Watson, becoming his final student, and earning a PhD in 1953 with a dissertation on the fossil otter ''Potamotherium''.〔
