Georges Cuvier (1769 – 1832) was a French naturalist and zoologist, referred to as the "founding father of paleontology". Cuvier was a major figure in natural sciences research in the early 19th century and was instrumental in establishing the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology through his work in comparing living animals with fossils.

Among his works, Cuvier established that elephant-like bones found in North America belonged to an extinct animal he later would name as a mastodon, and that a large skeleton dug up in present-day Argentina was of Megatherium, a giant, prehistoric ground sloth.

Cuvier, designed by Clément Serveau, engraved by Jean Pheulpin and issued by France on May 19, 1969. Note the skull fossils of mastodon, a prehistoric elephant, in the lower left corner:
