Shiva Balak Misra is an Indian geologist, writer and social worker from Barabanki district of Uttar Pradesh in India and is known for his contribution to the knowledge of earliest life forms on earth.
In 1968, Misra made the discovery of Ediacaran fossils attributed as the oldest multicellular life on Earth,[1][2] The area of the formation containing the fossils was protected as the Mistaken Point Ecological Reserve in 1984, and declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2016.[3][4] The fossils were later named after Misra in 2007 as Fractofusus misrai.[5][6][7][8][9]
In 1969, Misra returned from Canada after completing his MS Degree and established a school near his native village Deora in Barabanki district in India[10] and continues to serve this school until today.
