Schindewolf, Otto H.
Schindewolf, Otto H. (1896–1971) A German palaeontologist at the University of Tübingen, Schindewolf made extensive studies of ammonites (Ammonoidea) and their evolutionary history. These studies led him to propose a concept of discontinuous evolution, a theory which is not now generally accepted.
