Global InformationNelly Hooper Ludbrook information
Nelly Hooper Ludbrook MBE (1907–1995) was an Australian geologist and palaeontologist.[1]
Nelly Hooper Woods (better known as Nell Hooper Ludbrook) was born in Yorketown, South Australia on 14 June 1907.[2] Her mother had studied as a teacher at the University of Adelaide in 1900. After attending Mount Barker High School, Nell enrolled in the University of Adelaide in 1926, taking her B.A. in 1928[3] and a teaching degree, as she had not studied enough prerequisite science subjects to enrol in a B.Sc.. She studied geology and mathematics, and appealed to Dr C.T. Madigan to give her a research project in geology. She worked on the fossil mollusc collection of Sir Joseph Verco[4] for many years and pursued her M.A.[1]
