Owen Thomas Jones, FRS FGS (16 April 1878 – 5 May 1967) was a Welsh geologist. He was born in Beulah, near Newcastle Emlyn, Cardiganshire, the only son of David Jones and Margaret Thomas. He attended the local village school in Trewen before going to Pencader Grammar School in 1893. In 1896 he went up to University College, Aberystwyth to study physics, graduating in 1900. He then went to Trinity College, Cambridge and was awarded a B.A. degree in Natural Sciences (geology) in 1902.[1][2] In 1903 he joined the British Geological Survey, working near his home in Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. In 1910 he was appointed the first professor of geology in Aberystwyth. In 1913 he became professor of geology in Manchester University, and then, in 1930, Woodwardian Professor of Geology at Cambridge University (until 1943).[3] He dedicated his working life to the study of Welsh geology. In 1926 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. He won in 1956 a Royal Medal of the Royal Society, and the Wollaston Medal and the Lyell Medal of the Geological Society of London. He was twice president of the Geological Society. He died at the age of 89 having produced more than 140 publications. A year before his death he published a paper describing the Welsh source of the bluestones of Stonehenge (written in Welsh). References ^ Jones, Owen Thomas in Venn, J. & J.
