The Teisseyre family is a very meritorious family in Polish geology. Senior Wawrzyniec Teisseyre (1860–1939), cartographer, tectonicist, petroleum geologist and paleontologist, first determined the course of the SW boundary of the East European Platform, subsequently confirmed by magnetic studies of German geophysicist A.J.H. Tornquist. This important continental-scale feature has a character of deep fractures and is called today the Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone. Wawrzyniec's son, Henryk Teisseyre (1903–1975), was an eminent Carpathian geologist. After World War II, he was the co-founder of the Wroc³aw centre of Polish geology and the creator of Wroc³aw school of tectonics. Significant roles in the geology were played by Henryk's sons: prematurely died Juliusz (1933–1991) and Andrzej Karol (1938–1991). Henryk's nephew, Roman Teisseyre (born 1929), is a world-class seismologist, researcher in physics of the Earth interior.
