Charles M. Wheatley
Charles Moore Wheatley was an American miner and palaeontologist of the 19th century. He is noted for identifying several new fossilized species, some of which bear his name, and for his connection to the Port Kennedy Bone Cave, which contained one of the most important middle Pleistocene fossil deposits in North America. In 1879, he was elected as a member to the American Philosophical Society.
He also managed successful mines in Connecticut and Pennsylvania, including a lead mine in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.
