	William Buckland - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		William Buckland (12 March, 1784 - 24 August, 1856) was a prominent English geologist and palaeontologist who wrote the first full account of a fossil dinosaur, a proponent of Old Earth creationism and Flood geology who later became convinced by the glaciation theory of Louis Agassiz.
		Buckland was born at Axminster in Devon, and as a child would accompany his father, the Rector of Templeton and Trusham, on his walks where interest in road improvements led to collecting fossil shells, including ammonites, from the Jurassic lias rocks exposed in local quarries.
		Buckland became involved in repair and maintenance of Westminster Abbey and in preaching suitable sermons to the rural population of Islip while continuing to lecture on geology at Oxford.

		It was Buckland who, as a result of a find made about 1815, inaugurated the scientific investigation of dinosaurs that continues to the present day.
		Buckland made a careful analysis of this material, including teeth, jaws, and limb bones (one of the better teeth he described is illustrated at left below), and in a paper published in 1824, he correctly identified them as deriving from a large, carnivorous fossil reptile, to which he gave the name Megalosaurus.
		Although Buckland was immensely influential as a scientist, his rakish reputation gave many of his staid early Victorian contemporaries considerable difficulty in accepting his work.

	Buckland \| William \| 1784-1856 \| geologist and palaeontologist
		William Buckland (1784-1856), a reverend's son from Devon, was an eminent geologist and academic, as well as a prominent moderate Anglican priest.
		At one point, Buckland also believed he had proved the existence of the flood, by looking at strata and fossil remains in caves, though he later came to a compromise view, where the landscape of Britain was formed by a combination of glaciation and floodwater from the glaciers.
		Buckland is said to have been an entertaining and eloquent speaker on his subject, which led some to appreciate his work all the more and led others to despise him for "reducing the science to buffoonry".

		William Buckland was born March 12th, 1784 in Axminster, Devon, England, the son of a minister.
		Buckland also did some studies of a late Cenozic Era (65 million years ago to the present) cave in Yorkshire, England in which bones and teeth from a variety of animals, including hyenas, elephants, hippopotami, tigers, deer, rabbits, mice, and birds, were found.
		Buckland did not coin the term coprolite (from the Greek words "kopros" meaning "dung", and "lithos" meaning "stone") until 1829, when he was working on some feces found in sediment from the Jurassic Period (195 to 140 million years ago) in Lyme Regis, England (the same area where Mary Anning found her fossils).

	William Bucklin of Hingham and Pawtucket Biography
		Unless William obtained this land by some sort of credit, it seems that William was a man of some wealth, since he at that time also owned land in Hingham, and his 600 acres were about a square mile of land, and included the most valuable land in the area.
		William was not a member of the "Newman" church in Pawtucket, but he did carpenter work on the church.
		This suggests that William had capital that could be invested in land other than where he lived, because it is sure from the Pawtucket records that his residence must have been in Pawtucket for several years before he sold the land in Hingham.
