From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nathaniel Thomas Wetherell MRCS FGS (6 September 1800 – 22 December 1875) was a British geologist and surgeon. His work involved the collection of various fossils found in England.[1] He was born, lived, and died in Highgate, England.[2]
Wetherell discovered a strange mixture of rocks and fossils of northern provenance in Coldfall Wood, Muswell Hill in 1835. This led subsequently to the recognition that glaciation had affected southern England.[3]
