Ernst Freiherr Stromer von Reichenbach (born on 12th of June, 1871 in Nürnberg, died on 18th of December, 1952 in Erlangen) was a German paleontologist best remembered for his expedition to Egypt, during which the discovery of the first known remains of Spinosaurus was made. Stromer described several discoveries made in Egypt, including a few dinosaurs from the Cretaceous period discovered in Egypt (Aegyptosaurus, Bahariasaurus, and Carcharodontosaurus), an enigmatic theropod (Spinosaurus aegyptiacus) and a giant crocodilian (Stomatosuchus). In 1929 fossil bird genus Stromeria (now included in the genus Eremopezus) were named in Stromer’s honour by Kálmán Lambrecht. Read more on Wikipedia
