He was initially employed as a temporary assistant to the museum before being made permanent Keeper following the death of the sub-curator Henry Baines.[2] He resigned this post in 1880 following his appointment to the Geological Survey of Belgium. In his subsequent geological career he is attributed with naming the Namurian; a stage in the regional stratigraphy of northwest Europe with an age between roughly 326 and 313 Ma (million years ago).[1] Publications
