Denise Brice (4 July 1928 – 7 February 2025) was a French paleontologist.[1]
Born in Ennevelin on 4 July 1928, Brice completed her doctoral thesis under the supervision of Dorothée Le Maître.[2] She began her professional career at the Université catholique de Lille, where she was a professor. She also conducted research at the French National Centre for Scientific Research.[3] In 1971 and from 1995 to 1996, she was president of the Société géologique du Nord [fr], of which she was also honorary president from 2023 to 2025.[4]
Brice specialized in the study of Devonian brachiopods, conducting field research in the Canadian Arctic[5] and the Boulonnais. She edited a monography covering Devonian life in the Boulonnais region.[6] She described new brachiopod genera: Dichospirifer, Enchondrospirifer, Eobrachythyris,[7] Eodmitria,[8] and Ellesmererhynchia.[9] A number of species were named after her, including Dendropora briceae[10] and Stenorhynchia briceae.[11]
Brice died in Villeneuve-d'Ascq on 7 February 2025, at the age of 96.[12]
