After attending the Gymnasium, he studied at Leipzig University , and later in Munich. Here, he received his Ph.D in 1886 with a dissertation about Jurassic starfish. His geological work enabled him to publish the first coherent account about the history of the Alps. In July 1888, he received his Habilitation (second Ph.D.) from Munich University, and in 1891 became an assistant at the State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart. In 1894, he became curator of its geological, paleontological and mineralogical departments, and discovered the dinosaurs of the Tendaguru formation in then German East Africa (now Tanzania). The dinosaur Efraasia is named after him. In that capacity, he was responsible for a multitude of geological maps of his native Swabia. Fraas was also curator of Friedrich Alfred Krupp's mineral collections. He died unexpectedly on March 6, 1915, in Stuttgart, from dysentery which he had caught while in East Africa. "Der Petrefaktensammler" is volume XXV. of "Schriften des Deutschen Lehrvereins für Naturkunde". Fossils (from Classical Latin fossilis, literally "obtained by digging") are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past. The totality of fossils, both discovered and undiscovered, and their placement in fossiliferous (fossil-containing) rock formations and sedimentary layers (strata) is known as the fossil record.
