Abstract
A tribute to François Fontan (1942–2007) was held on 15 April 2009 at the Natural History Museum of Toulouse (MHNT). François passed away unexpectedly at the age of 64, only a few weeks before his retirement. He had been working at the Laboratoire des Mécanismes et Transferts en Géologie (LMTG, CNRS) of Paul Sabatier University and the Observatoire MidiPyrénées in Toulouse for nearly 40 years, and he had been collaborating with MHNT since 1984. A rare mineral was named for him (fontanite; see Deliens and Piret 1992, European Journal of Mineralogy 4: 1271).
