Alphonse Briart (1825–1898) was supervisor of the coal mines at Bascoup and Mariemont near Morlanwelz in the Hainaut province of Belgium, and a geologist who studied that region. During the period 1863-1896 he and Francois Cornet published a number of books and papers describing fossils and geological structures found near Mons. They devised theories - now generally accepted - as to the geological history of the region. After Cornet's death in 1887, Briart continued to write alone. The mineral Briartite is named for his grandson, Gaston Briart. ==Life events== *1825 Born at Chapelle-lez-Herlaimont *1844 Graduates with diplôme d’ingénieur from the École des Mines in Mons *1844 Practical mining training at Mons *1846 Joins the coal mines of Mariemont and Bascoup *1855 Marries Elise Deltenre *1863 First geological publication, in collaboration with Fr.
