I can't remember if it was on this list that someone mentioned that 
'English geologists named the Cretaceous Period using the Latin', 
well...it wasn't:).  A Belgian geologist by the name of Omalius 
d'Halloy, in 1882, proposed the term for strata surrounding the Paris 
Basin (according to Eicher 1976 *Geologic Time*).
