Vasili Samarsky-Bykhovets

Vasili Samarsky-Bykhovets

Vasili Evgrafovich Samarsky–Bykhovets ( _ru. Василий Евграфович Самарский–Быховец) (November 7, 1803 – May 31, 1870) was a Russian mining engineer and the chief of Russian Mining Engineering Corps between 1861 and 1870.

The mineral samarskite discovered in 1847 in the southern Ural Mountains was named after him. The chemical element of samarium isolated from samarskite in 1879 was named after the mineral. Thus, the name of the chemical element is an indirect eponym of Samarsky–Bykhovets.
