Lewis Hunton
Lewis Hunton (August 1814 - 17 February 1838) was a geologist who made important early contributions to the development of the idea that the geological succession could be sub-divided through analysis of its fossil content, at a time when such ideas were yet to be widely accepted. This principle, later dubbed biostratigraphy, became a fundamental aspect of the modern science of geology. Little detail of his life exists and, as far as the author can ascertain, there are no surviving images of Lewis.
==Early Life & Influences==
Born at Hummersea House near Loftus, and raised on the rugged Cleveland coast notable for its fine exposures of Lower and Middle Jurassic strata, Hunton was christened at St. Leonard’s Church, Loftus on 6 August 1814. His father William (1789-1863) and grandfather, also William (1761-1809), acted as Alum Agent and Alum Maker respectively at Loftus Alum Works using shale from adjoining quarries on some of Britain’s highest sea cliffs. The Hunton family’s close associations with the Yorkshire alum trade, which flourished in north east Yorkshire (Cleveland) between ''ca''.1604 and 1871, played an important role in influencing Lewis Hunton’s later work in both geology and chemistry.〔Torrens H.
