Explanation:

Zadock Thompson was a naturalist and geologist that was born in Vermont in the year 1796 on the 23rd of May.

In the year 1849, some workers working on a railroad construction site in vermont were digging beds for the railroad when they found some very large bones which they could not identify, therefore the person overseeing or in charge of the construction site called for Zadock Thompson.

Zadock Thompson looked at the bones he found on the construction site, they were quite big in size and compared their characteristics to the research on fossils and bone structures and determined it was the bones of a creature that could be found at the sea, a marine creature specifically a whale.

He later travelled back to Havard college in Cambridge with the bones of the creature to find out exactly what type of whale it was.
