1939	Anton H. Westergård	For researches on the stratigraphy and paleontology of the Cambrian formations of Sweden.
1947	Вологдин, Александр Григорьевич	For his studies of Pre-Cambrian and Cambrian algae and his researches on the Archaeocyatha, a distinctive group of Cambrian organisms.
1952	Франко Разетти	For his contributions to Cambrian paleontology.
1957	Pierre Hupé	For his monumental work entitiled Contribution a l'etude du Cambrien inferieur et du Precambrien III de l'Antiatlas marocain.
1962	Армин Александр Эпик	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 Sterrenberg Barghoorn	For his outstanding contributions in pre-Cambrian paleobiology.
1977	Престон Клауд	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 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.

2002	Hans J. Hofmann	For his pioneering discoveries of fossils that have illuminated life's early evolution, from Archean stromatolites and Proterozoic cyanobacteria, to the rise of multicellular organisms.
2007	John P. Grotzinger	For the insightful elucidation of ancient carbonates and the stromatolites they contain, and for meticulous field research that has established the timing of early animal evolution.
2013	J. William Schopf	For his pioneering studies of Precambrian microfossils and for his generous and inspirational leadership of the Precambrian Paleobiology Research Groups.
