Internet search giant Google posted the year's first Doodle by marking the 347th birth anniversary of the world famous Danish geologist, Nicolas Steno, known as the father of Geology. Steno is also known for his valuable contribution in the field of anatomy.
Today's Doodle, which spells out the name of the search engine, appears in the form of earth strata with fossils in various bottom layers and a green crust. On clicking the Doodle, users land on the search results page for Nicolas Steno.
Born in Copenhagen to a goldsmith family, Steno left the place in 1660 to study medicine in the Netherlands. Steno's most famous and ground-breaking work was the one he carried out on shark's teeth raising an important question as to how can other solid objects and materials get embedded inside rocks and rock layers.
Later he concluded that all rocks and minerals were originally fluid in nature and were floating on the crust but gradually they settled down at the bottom of the sea creating horizontal layers.
Originally a Lutheran, Steno embraced Catholicism and in the year 1987 he was beatified by Pope John Paul II, completing the first step towards becoming a saint.
Google recently revamped its Doodle site allowing users to purchase items featuring Google Doodles. The update brings the page into line with Google's other socially-enhanced sites and enables users to share their favorite logos on social networking websites.
The new site features over 1,000 doodles, some of which include a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process and links to the interactive versions.
Google Doodles are the decorative changes that are made to the Google logo to celebrate holidays, anniversaries, and the lives of famous artists and scientists. The first Google Doodle was created by Larry Page and Sergy Brin Google in the year 1998 to mark the celebrations of the Burning Man Festival. Google currently has over 1000 Doodles
