John Wattison worked in the pottery industry initially in Stoke, and then Portugal, before moving to Shrewsbury. He was a great amateur collector and the Lapworth Museum has approximately 20,000 of his specimens, including many Lower Palaeozoic fossils from Shropshire and the Welsh Borders, collected during his many field excursions in the region. Wattison's collection has been used by many palaeontologists studying the Lower Palaeozoic fossils of the region, and is particularly rich in trilobites. |
