Simon Conway Morris FRS (born 6 November 1951) is an English paleontologist who is best known for his detailed and careful study of the Burgess Shale fossils. The results of these discoveries were celebrated in Wonderful Life by Stephen Jay Gould. Morris's own book on the subject, The Crucible of Creation, however, is critical of Gould's presentation and interpretation.

And the night is a-cold,
And Thames runs chill
‘Twixt mead and hill.
But kind and dear
Is the old house here
And my heart is warm
Midst winter’s harm.”
