Stig M. Bergström (born 12 June 1935 in
Skövde) is a Swedish-American paleontologist.
In 1981, he described the conodont family
Paracordylodontidae.[1] In 1974, he described the multielement conodont genus Appalachignathus from the Middle Ordovician of North America.[2]
Awards and tributes
He received the Pander Medal by the
Pander Society. In 1999, he received the
Raymond C. Moore Medal, awarded by the Society for Sedimentary Geology to persons who have made significant contributions in the field which have promoted the science of stratigraphy by research in paleontology and evolution and the use of fossils for interpretations of paleoecology. In 2011, he received the
Paleontological Society Medal.
