Buenos días, Como siempre pidiendo favores, en este caso del ¿fallecimiento? de la mineralogista Celia Norma, Inglesa. Geólogo, Químico, Mineralogista y Petróloga, que ahora tendría 105 años.
Si alguno sabéis algo al respecto, ruego me lo hagáis seguir.
Un saludo

Bueno...pues hizo los 100 seguro...
Emeritus Professor Morna Mathias, formerly of the Department of Geology, celebrated her 100th birthday with friends and family on 20 May.
She was born Frances Celia Morna Cameron-Swan, the granddaughter of the late Sir Joseph Wilson Swan, the English physicist and chemist who was most famous for producing an early electric light bulb before its invention by Thomas Edison. Sir Joseph also invented the dry photographic plate, an important improvement in photography and a step in the development of photographic film.
Morna was educated in England and attended Wynberg Girls' High School. She studied geology at UCT, after a taunt from her brother that the field was "too difficult for a woman".
In her typically determined manner, Morna not only tackled her undergraduate degree but went on to complete her MA in 1935 and her PhD in 1941.
She was the first woman academic appointment in geology (there have been only two since then, in 2006 and 2010) and the only woman associate professor of geology at UCT. Morna was awarded her DSc in 1956 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of South Africa.
Morna also has the singular honour of having a mineral named after her, Mathiasite, a potassic iron-zirconium-magnesium chromian titanate, found in the deep mantle of the Earth below Southern Africa, typically at depths of greater than 100km. It was described in a 1983 paper in the journal American Mineralogist by Steve Haggerty (University of Massachusetts at Amherst) and others...
