So sad
A true gentleman.
An infectious enthusiast
He always had time to pass on friendly advice, or just chat when I had the privilege of meeting him whilst working as a Post Grad / Post Doc at the Natural History Museum
RIP
British geologist Richard Alan Fortey passed away today at the age of 79. An expert on fossils & the stratigraphy of the Ordovician, he was also a passionated science popularizer

📷2 we are looking NE up dry reentrant. Possibly FB contouring across at BoS
