Patrick Marshall (1869 – November 1950) was a geologist who lived in New Zealand.[1] He was the first to introduce the terms rodingite and ignimbrite into petrology and mineralogy. Marshall's most significant contribution to science was his work on coastal erosion and volcanology.

Early life

Marshall was born on 22 December 1869 in Sapiston, Suffolk to Emily Louisa Merielina Rogers and her husband, John Hannath Marshall, cricketer and vicar of Sapiston. After his father's failing health the family emigrated to Kaiteriteri, New Zealand in 1876.[2]

Sporting career

Marshall won the men's doubles at the New Zealand national tennis championships with his brother Joy in 1893–94.[3] He played three first-class cricket matches for Auckland in the 1900–01 season.[4]
