Медаль Чарльза Дулиттла Валькота (англ. Charles Doolittle Walcott Medal) — научная награда Национальной академии наук США за выдающиеся достижения в области изучения докембрийского и кембрийского геологического периода.

История

Награда была учреждена в 1934 году на средства Мэри Во Валькот^[англ.] в честь американского палеонтолога Чарльза Дулиттла Валькота (1850−1927), и присуждается раз в пять лет.

1939	Anton H. Westergård^[нем.]	For researches on the stratigraphy and paleontology of the Cambrian formations of Sweden.
1947	Вологдин, Александр Григорьевич	For his studies of Pre-Cambrian and Cambrian algae and his researches on the Archaeocyatha, a distinctive group of Cambrian organisms.
1952	Франко Разетти^[англ.]	For his contributions to Cambrian paleontology.
1957	Pierre Hupé^[англ.]	For his monumental work entitiled Contribution a l'etude du Cambrien inferieur et du Precambrien III de l'Antiatlas marocain.
1962	Армин Александр Эпик	For his contributions to Cambrian geology and paleontology.
1967	Allison R. Palmer^[англ.]	For his research in pre-Cambrian or Cambrian life, in recognition of his eminence as a specialist in the studies of the Cambrian.

2002	Hans J. Hofmann^[англ.]	For his pioneering discoveries of fossils that have illuminated life's early evolution, from Archean stromatolites and Proterozoic cyanobacteria, to the rise of multicellular organisms.
2007	John P. Grotzinger^[англ.]	For the insightful elucidation of ancient carbonates and the stromatolites they contain, and for meticulous field research that has established the timing of early animal evolution.
