About this person
Henriette Delamarre de Monchaux, née Valentine Henriette Huberte Delamarre de Monchaux, also known as Valentine Henriette Huberte Lecointre, was a French naturalist, geologist and paleontologist. She was a pioneer in the latter two disciplines, becoming a specialist in faluns, a type of marine deposit. Her works, notably Les Faluns de La Touraine, support the theory of evolution. She was also a committed feminist. In 1875, she married Pierre Lecointre, a Roman Count. She signed several of her articles as Countess Pierre Lecointre, and she is still sometimes identified by that surname.
