He was active in a number of scientific societies, including as a Fellow of the Geological Society. His collection was comprehensive, ever-expanding, and open to the public. Moore published a number of new species based on his specimens. His particular interest was bivalves and gastropods. In his capacity of agent for emigration to Queensland Moore had contact with numerous people in Australia, including geologist William B. Clarke. It was his examination of specimens sent to him by Clarke, that enabled Moore to publish on the Mesozoic in Australia. The bulk of his collections remain in Bath. 1844 1853 Career position - Bookseller, Ilminster, United Kingdom 1853 1853 Life event - Moved to Bath, United Kingdom 1854 1881 Award - Fellow, Geological Society, London 1855 1855 Career event - Founding Member, Bath Natural History and Antiquarian Field Club 1859 1859 Career event - Elected Member, British Association for the Advancement of Science 1871 1871 Career event - Elected Honorary Member, Geologist's Association Clarke, William Branwhite (1798 - 1878) 'Moore, Charles', in Encyclopedia of Australian Science and Innovation, Centre for Transformative Innovation, Swinburne University of Technology Moore, Charles Swinburne University of Technology, Centre for Transformative Innovation Encyclopedia of Australian Science and Innovation Journal Article: Australian Mesozoic geology and palaeontology Moore, C.
