From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edwin Tulley Newton (born May, 1840 in London; died January 28, 1930) was a British paleontologist. He originally worked at handicrafts, but was able to attend Thomas Henry Huxley's lectures and by 1865 was appointed as his assistant. In 1882 he became paleontologist to the "Geologic Survey", a position he retained until 1905. His early work included microscope sections of coal and notable studies on cockroach brains.[1] Later he did work on Chimæroid fish fossils.[2] In 1893 he won the Lyell Medal.
