Megalosaurs were first described by the English geologist William Buckland in 1824. Buckland identified the fossils of this dinosaur from the Oxford Clay formation in England, naming it Megalosaurus, which means "great lizard." His work marked one of the earliest formal descriptions of a dinosaur, contributing significantly to the field of Paleontology.
