Samuel Beckles
Samuel Husbands Beckles (12 April 1814, Barbados – 4 September 1890, Hastings) was a Bajan/English 19th century lawyer, turned dinosaur hunter, who collected remains in Sussex and the Isle of Wight. In 1854 he described bird-like trackways that he thought could have been made by dinosaurs, which he later identified as probably those of ''Iguanodon'' in 1862. In 1857, following the discovery of a mammal jaw at Durlston Bay, he directed a major excavation that became known as 'Beckles' Pit', removing five metres of overburden over a 600 square metre area, one of the largest ever scientific excavations. The collection of mammal fossils that resulted is now mainly held at the Natural History Museum.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Purbeck: The Mammal Beds )〕 He discovered the small herbivorous dinosaur ''Echinodon''. The only known species ''Echinodon becklesii'', the mammal ''Plagiaulax becklesii'' and the dinosaur ''Becklespinax'' were named in his honour.
==Early Life==
Samuel Beckles was born on 12 April 1814 in Barbados. He was the seventh child of John Alleyne Beckles and Elizabeth née Spooner. His father was at that time Chief Judge of the Court of Vice Admiralty of Barbados, later becoming President of the Legislative Council of Barbados. Samuel moved to England, becoming a student of the Middle Temple in 1835. He was called to the bar in 1838 and in the same year married his first cousin Susannah Henry. He retired from his life as a barrister due to ill health in 1845, moving to St Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Coprolites and characters in Victorian Britain )〕
