Harry G. Seeley was a student of law, but when attending a lecture bySir Richard Owen, who coined the term "dinosaur" ("Terrible Reptile" or "Fearfully Great Reptile") in the 19th century,on flying reptiles, his interest in paleontology was piqued, and he pursued paleontology for the remainder of his life.
