description: "Karl David Wilhelm Mayer-Eymar was a Franco-Swiss paleontologist and geologist known for his work on classifying the stratigraphy of the Tertiary into 12 stages. He was born Karl Mayer but added the anagram Eymar around 1865 to distinguish his name from others, and the nickname \"Tertiary Mayer\" was also used. He was a major collector of fossils and described many molluscs."
