Sven Axel Tullberg

Sven Axel Theodore Tullberg (27 February 1852, Landskrona – 15 December 1886, Lund) was a Swedish botanist, palaeontologist and geologist.

Tullberg studied Geology at Lund University from 1871 and became a professor in 1880. He worked as an assistant geologist from 1879 and as geologist and palaeontologist at the Geological Survey of Sweden from 1881. Initially, he focused on botanical subjects and published An overview of the Scandinavian species of the genus Ranunculus "(1873)". He contributed to the Skåne flora (along with J. Eriksson, 1873) and the gender Primula (About some of the Primula forms found in Möven, 1876).

Then he focused on palaeontology and geology, especially the Silurian deposits in Skåne.[1][2] His first palaeontological work is, however, about the species of the genus Agnostus near Andrarum. Later he studied graptolites from both paleontological and stratigraphic perspective. Publications about this include: "Some Didymograplus Species in Lower Graptolite Crime at Kivik's Esperöd" (1880), "Trenne New Graptolisms" (1880), "On The Graptolites Described by Hisinger and the Older Swedish Authors" (1882), "Skåne's Graptolites: I. General overcrowding of the Silurian foundations in Skåne etc. " (1882), "II. Graptolite faunas in the Cordiolaskiffern and Cyrtograptusskiffrarna" (1883) and the "Schichtfolge des Silur in Schonen" in Zeitschrift der Deutschen geologischen Gesellschaft '35' (1883). Other works of stratigraphic and palaeontological content describe the layeredness in Cambodia and Silure at Rostanga (1880) and reports of geological tours on Öland (1882).[3] He further described the fossils of the Jurassic collected by Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld on Nova Zembla in "Über Versteinerangen aus den Aucellschichten Noraja Zemljas" (1881), describing marine molluscs from the Hörs sandstone and depicting the geological charts (with Gustaf Linnarsson).[4]

The Trilobite gender Svenax is a contraction of the first two names of Tullberg.[5]

The standard author abbreviation Tullb. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[6]
