Sidney H. Haughton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sidney Henry Haughton, (7 May 1888 Bethnal Green, London - 24 May 1982), was an English paleontologist. The eldest of three children born to Henry Charles Haughton and Alice Aves, he is best-known for his description of the sauropodomorph dinosaur Melanorosaurus in 1924, and his work on the geology of the Witwatersrand. Haughton's work on South African geology culminated in the 1964 publication of Gold Deposits of the Witwatersrand Basin: The Geology of Some Ore Deposits of Southern Africa, Volume 1, a collection of 18 papers on Witwatersrand geology. He is not to be confused with Samuel Haughton, an Irish geologist of an earlier era.
