   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.11 sec.

Walcott, Charles Doolittle (1850–1927)

US geologist and palaeontologist. His publications on trilobites, brachiopods, fossil jellyfish, and western fossils established him as a leading authority on Cambrian rocks and fossils. His discovery of fossilized soft-bodied organisms in British Columbia in 1909 ranks among the greatest ever fossil finds.

He worked for the US Geological Survey 1879–1907, as director 1894–1907, and was secretary of the Smithsonian Institution 1907–27. He was born in New York Mills, New York.
