RENGARTEN, VLADIMIR PAVLQVICH (Geologist) 



V. P. Rengarten was born July 24, 1882. Upon graduation 

 from the Mining Institute of Petersburg in 1908, he began to 

 work for the Geological Committee (later known as the AU- 

 Union Scientific Research Geologic Institute). He has been 

 working in the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences since 1941. He 

 received a Stalin Prize in 1948 for his work on the geology of 

 the Caucasus. In 1946, he was elected to the U.S.S.R. Academy 

 of Sciences as a Corresponding Member. 



The works of Rengarten deal with the regional geology of the 

 Caucasus, the Eastern slope of the Urals, the Pamir and Amur 

 territory. Of particular significance is his work on the tec- 

 tonics of the Caucasus and on the stratigraphy of chalk de- 

 posits. Rengarten has made paleontological investigations of 

 cretaceous cephalopodic pelecypods (particularly rudistids), 

 brachiopods, sea urchins. Under the editorship of Rengarten 

 the ninth and tenth volumes of Geology of the U.S.S.R. (1941-47) 

 were published, devoted to the North Caucasus and to the terri- 

 tory beyond the Caucasus.
