About Charles Lamberton
- Charles Lamberton (1876–1960) was a French paleontologist who lived and studied on the island of Madagascar between 1911 and 1948 and specialized in the recently extinct subfossil lemurs.
- He made significant contributions towards fixing misattributions of skeletal remains and poor interpretations of subfossil lemur behavior.
- His paleontological expeditions during the 1930s led to the discovery of a new species of Mesopropithecus, a type of sloth lemur.
- Three species—one mammal and two reptiles—were named after him, although one is now considered a taxonomic synonym.
