'''William Buckland''' (1784-1856) was an English [[palentologist]] and [[geologist]].  In 1824, Buckland became the first scientist to publish a description of a [[dinosaur]] fossil, in his paper "Notice on the Megalosaurus or Great Fossil Lizards of [[Stonesfield]]."  Buckland was a deeply religious man, who attempted to use geology to support scripture.  His methods were critisized by scientists and [[theologin]]s alike.  One contemporary described his work: "The grossness of the Buffoonery acted on my like and emetic."  Buckland's 1875 announcement that he had discovered dinosaur dung in [[Lyme Regis]] further discredited his work.
