# Medaglia Murchison

La medaglia Murchison è un riconoscimento scientifico conferito in ambito geologico. Il riconoscimento fu istituito da Roderick Murchison, che morì nel 1871.
Uno degli ultimi atti pubblici di Murchison fu la fondazione di una cattedra di Geologia e Mineralogia presso l'Università di Edimburgo. Tra le sue ultime volontà vi erano l'istituzione della Medaglia Murchison e del fondo per la geologia (The Murchison Fund) che il Consiglio della Geological Society of London avrebbe dovuto assegnare annualmente.
La prima Medaglia fu assegnata nel 1873.
