  • Carl Ferdinand von Roemer, German geologist, had originally been educated for the legal profession at Göttingen, but became interested in geology, and abandoning law in 1840, studied science at the University of Berlin, where he graduated Ph.D. in 1842. Two years later he published his first work, Das Rheinische Ubergangsgebirge (1844), in which he dealt with the older rocks and fossils. In 1845 he paid a visit to America, and devoted a year and a half to a careful study of the geology of Texas and other Southern states. He published at Bonn in 1849 a general work entitled Texas, while the results of his investigations of the Cretaceous rocks and fossils were published three years later in a treatise, Die Kreidebildungen von Texas und ihre organischen Einschlusse (1852), which included also a general account of the geology, and gained for him the title Father of the geology of Texas. Subsequently he published at Breslau Die Silurische Fauna des westlichen Tennessee (1860). During the preparation of these works he was from 1847 to 1855 privatdocent at Bonn, and was then appointed professor of geology, palaeontology and mineralogy in the University of Breslau, a post which he held with signal success as a teacher until his death. As a palaeontologist he made important contributions to our knowledge especially of the vertebrates of the Devonian and older rocks. He assisted H. G. Bronn with the third edition of the Let haea geognostica (1851-56), and subsequently he labored on an enlarged and revised edition, of which he published one section, Lethaea palaeozoica (1876-1883). In 1862 he was called on to superintend the preparation of a geological map of Upper Silesia, and the results of his researches were embodied in his Geologie von Oberschlesien (3 vols. , 1870). As a mineralogist he was likewise well known, more particularly by his practical teachings and by the collection he formed in the Museum at Breslau. He died at Breslau on the 14th of December 1891. His brother, Friedrich Adolph Roemer, was also a geologist.

Roemer, som var den yngste av tre bröder, som alla gjorde sig kända som geologer, blev docent i Bonn 1848 och professor i Breslau 1855. Åren 1845-48 reste han i Texas och besökte sedan flertalet av Europas länder. Under 1856 och 1878 företog han resor i Sverige. Han ägnade stor uppmärksamhet åt de i Nordtysklands lösa jordlager förekommande fossilförande lösa blocken och deras ursprungliga moderklyft, senast i Lethæa erratica (1887). Förutom en mängd andra arbeten utgav han Geologie von Ober-Schlesien (med karta), studerade Westfalens och Texas kritbildningar (Die Kreidebildungen von Texas und ihre organischen Einschlüsse, 1852), Tennessees silurbildningar m.m. och påbörjade en ny bearbetning, delvis efter ny plan, av Heinrich Georg Bronns bekanta "Lethæa geognostica", varav det band, som behandlar de paleozoiska systemen, Lethæa palæozoica, utkom 1876-83. Han tilldelades Murchisonmedaljen 1885.
