1841年Roderick Murchison对二叠纪的命名是众所周知的。这部分是因为他“完成”了系统层面的地层柱，但也因为他在俄罗斯偏远地区的野外工作的异国情调和他的知名度。在这里，我们探讨了这一法案的几个有争议和有争议的方面，并从俄罗斯来源的文件和报告中受益。默奇森或塞奇威克可以根据英国或德国的继承，为1835年未命名的下层新红砂岩命名，因此，根据英国地质学命名时间的帝国目标可能并不是一些人认为的紧迫任务。默奇森被描绘成傲慢和帝国主义者，这无疑是真的，但在当时，许多人认为他是一个伟大的领导人，甚至是一个有吸引力的人。也有人认为他的成功是因为他站在当地地质学家的肩膀上，但他出色而快速的地质综合能力却受到了质疑。他的工作带来了两个意想不到的后果，这位极端保守主义者在俄罗斯被尊为地质学英雄，尽管他夸夸其谈，但他的“二叠纪”直到命名100年后才被广泛接受。补充材料：五篇关键论文（Murchison 1841 d; Helmersen 1872; Shafranovsky 1964; Chuvashov 2010; Malakhova 2012）的原文和英文翻译可在：https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.5412079
The naming of the Permian by Roderick Murchison in 1841 is well known. This is partly because he ‘completed’ the stratigraphic column at the system level, but also because of the exotic aspects of his extended fieldwork in remote parts of Russia and his reputed character. Here, we explore several debated and controversial aspects of this act, benefiting from access to documents and reports from Russian sources. Murchison or Sedgwick could have provided a name for the unnamed lower New Red Sandstone in 1835 based on British successions or those in Germany, so perhaps the imperial aim of naming time from British geology was not the urgent task some have assumed. Murchison has been painted as arrogant and imperialistic, which was doubtless true, but at the time many saw him as a great leader, even an attractive individual. Others suggest he succeeded because he stood on the shoulders of local geologists; however, his abilities of brilliant and rapid geological synthesis are undoubted. Two unexpected consequences of his work are that this arch-conservative is revered in Russia as a hero of geological endeavours and, for all his bombast, his ‘Permian’ was not widely accepted until 100 years after its naming.Supplementary material:Original text and English-language translations of five of the key papers (Murchison 1841d; Helmersen 1872; Shafranovsky 1964; Chuvashov 2010; Malakhova 2012) are available at: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.5412079
