Why Is Heinz A. Lowenstam Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Heinz Adolf Lowenstam was a German-born, Jewish-American paleoecologist celebrated for his discoveries in biomineralization: that living organisms manufacture substances such as the iron-containing mineral magnetite within their bodies. He is also renowned for his pioneering research on coral reefs and their influence on biologic processes in the geologic record.
