Reginald Walter Hooley (5 September 1865 – 5 May 1923[1]) was a businessman and amateur paleontologist, collecting on the Isle of Wight.
Hooley began to work for Godrich & Petman, wine merchants, and later in life became managing director of that firm.
Hooley made regular visits to the Isle of Wight and found hundreds of fossils.
Hooley made his most famous finds in 1889 and 1914 when two iguanodontid skeletons were exposed by erosion at the cliffs.
He described remains of many turtles, and named the dinosaur Iguanodon atherfieldensis[2] and the pterosaur Ornithodesmus latidens.
