- 1962- Armin A. Opik, for his contributions to Cambrian geology and paleontology.
- 1967- Allison R. Palmer, for his research in pre-Cambrian or Cambrian life, in recognition of his eminence as a specialist in the studies of the Cambrian.
- 1972- Elso S. Barghoorn, for his outstanding contributions in pre-Cambrian paleobiology.
- 1977- Preston Cloud, in recognition of eminence and distinguished achievement in the advancement of sciences in pre-Cambrian paleontology and the early history of life on the primitive earth.
- 1982- Martin F. Glaessner, for his perceptive, worldwide biological and paleoecological analyses of the earliest Metazoa, which have extended over a quarter century and have illuminated the beginnings of Phanerozoic evolution.
