Boris Sokolov

Russian paleontologist (1914-2013) · Russia · On the map · Scientists · Died at 99

Boris Sergeyevich Sokolov was a Soviet and Russian geologist and paleontologist. Sokolov authored reference works on the stratigraphy of Eastern Europe, in particular the fossil coral records, and created the concept of Vendian period, currently recognized as largely overlapping, but not fully equivalent to Ediacaran.

Boris Sokolov is read about 5 times a day, in 9 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 19 August 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
