Maurits Lindström (10 May 1932 – 14 November 2009) was a Swedish geologist and paleontologist. Lindström's initial work was divided among two topics conodont paleontology and the structural geology of the Scandinavian Caledonides in Lappland. [1]
In 1970, he described the conodont families Cordylodontidae, Gondolellidae, Proconodontidae and Rhipidognathidae. [2] In 1971, he described the conodont genera Baltoniodus, Microzarkodina and Paracordylodus. [3] Lindström published conodont studies up to 1987 after which he only supervised students working with conodonts. [1]
In the late 1980s Lindström began to study ancient impact craters in the Fennoscandian Shield. His studies have confirmed earlier speculations that Tvären and Lockne are craters. [1]
In 1985 he became member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and in 2009 he was awarded the prize "Årets geolog" (Geologist of the Year) by Geosektionen of Naturvetarna. [4]
He received the Pander Medal awarded by the Pander Society, an informal organisation founded in 1967 for the promotion of the study of conodont palaeontology.
