  Oldfield Thomas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Rogers Oldfield Thomas (February 21, 1858 – June 16, 1929) was a British zoologist.
Thomas worked at the Natural History Museum on mammals, describing about 2,000 new species and sub-species for the first time.
In 1891 Thomas married an heiress to a small fortune, which gave him the finances to hire mammal collectors and present their specimens to the museum.

When type specimens are preserved, it is common to keep skins and skulls together, and Shaw's description from 1799 indicates this was the case with the platypus.
