Peter M. Galton born 1942 is a British vertebrate paleontology vertebrate paleontologist working in America, who has to date written or co written about a hundred papers in scientific journals or chapters in paleontology textbooks, especially on ornithischia n and prosauropod dinosaur s. With Robert Bakker in a joint article published in Nature journal Nature in 1974, he argued that dinosaurs constitute a natural monophyletic group, in contrast to the prevailing view that considered them polyphyletic as consisting of two different not closely related Order biology orders , thus initiating a revolution in dinosaur studies and contributing to the revival of the popularity of dinosaurs in the field of paleontology.

Galton Junction is a minor junction on the West Coast Main Line West Coast Main Line s Rugby Birmingham Stafford Line . With Smethwick Junction , it allows northbound trains from the RBS to join the Birmingham to Worcester via Kidderminster Line in a westbound direction and vice versa. Until the re opening of Birmingham Snow Hill for stations to Kidderminster , all passenger services routed via Galton and Smethwick Junctions to reach Birmingham New Street . With this re opening, use of the junction has sharply decreased. This was compounded with the removal of the service to New Street, and now only selected freight services and charter trains use the junction. It has also been used as a way to divert trains to Cheltenham Spa railway station Cheltenham Spa via Stourbridge Junction railway station Stourbridge Junction and Worcester Shrub Hill railway station Worcester Shrub Hill .

Galtons Canal map Galton s Canal was a 1 mile 3 furlong 2.2 km canal with one canal lock lock , crossing Westhay Moor in Somerset , England , and connecting the River Brue to the North Drain. It was built sometime between 1811 and 1822, and was authorised by the Brue Drainage Act of 1801. Near to the River Brue, the canal was embanked, after which the lock lowered the level to that of the surrounding countryside. Details of its operation are sparse, but Galton was ordered to repair the floodbanks near to the canal by the Commissioners of Sewers in 1830.
