George F. Sternberg
George Fryer Sternberg (1883–1969) was a paleontologist best known for his discovery in Gove County, Kansas of the "fish-within-a-fish" of "Xiphactinus audax" with a recently eaten "Gillicus arcuatus" within its stomach. Sternberg was born in Lawrence, Kansas, and began leading fossil-hunting expeditions in the early 1900s. He became field paleontologist and curator of the museum of natural history at Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas in 1927. George F. Sternberg was the son of Charles Hazelius Sternberg and nephew of Brigadier General George M. Sternberg (1838–1915). The Sternberg Museum of Natural History  at Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas is named for his work and contributions to paleontology. The surname also honors the Sternberg fossil-hunting family, including his father, Charles Hazelius Sternberg (1850–1943), and his brother Charles Mortram Sternberg (1885–1981). Sternberg retired in 1961. He died October 23, 1969.
