Home›Earth Sciences›PaleontologistsGroupPaleontologistsThis group collects the Earth Sciences subcategory's members whose defining work concerns paleontology: the study of fossils and prehistoric life, from the founders who first described dinosaur and extinct-mammal fossils to modern paleobiologists working on the history of life recorded in rock. It is kept apart from this atlas's separate Life Sciences subcategory, whose members work primarily on living organisms rather than the fossil record.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonField EstablishedWell-attested1822 1Browse ByAll PaleontologistsPaleontologists73 entriesPaleontologistsFilter Results73 entriesDisciplineAllAnthropology (1)Astronomy (1)Biology (3)Botany (2)Chemistry (1)Climatology (1)Cosmology (1)Earth Science (1)Entomology (1)Geology (38)Geophysics (1)Herpetology (1)Mathematics (1)Medicine (2)Meteorology (1)Mineralogy (2)Oceanography (1)Optics (1)Paleontology (47)Pharmacology (1)Zoology (4)Field (legacy)AllAnatomy and geology (1)Biogeology and physical cosmology (1)Biology, comparative anatomy, palaeontology (1)Comparative anatomy and vertebrate paleontology (1)Earth and planetary science (1)Engineering and palaeontology (1)Geology (9)Geology (structural geology and paleontology) (1)Geology and conchology (1)Geology and palaeontology (2)Geology and paleoclimatology, Quaternary Period (1)Geology and paleontology (4)Geology, botany and palaeontology (1)Geology, ornithology and palaeontology (1)Geology, paleoclimatology, oceanography (1)Geology, petroleum exploration (1)Geophysics and seismology (1)Invertebrate paleontology and paleogeography (1)Palaeontology (9)Palaeontology, geology and anthropology (1)Paleobiology (1)Paleontology (12)Paleontology and exploration (1)Paleontology and stratigraphy (1)Paleontology and zoology (1)Surgery and geology (1)Vertebrate palaeontology, especially fossil reptiles (1)Vertebrate paleontology (1)EraAll1031 (1)1638 (1)1769 (2)1774 (1)1784 (1)1787 (1)1790 (1)1792 (1)1794 (1)1795 (1)1798 (1)1799 (1)1800 (2)1801 (1)1802 (2)1804 (1)1805 (1)1806 (1)1808 (1)1809 (2)1817 (1)1821 (1)1827 (1)1828 (1)1830 (1)1831 (2)1832 (1)1839 (1)1840 (1)1842 (1)1849 (1)1850 (1)1851 (1)1854 (1)1857 (3)1858 (3)1861 (1)1864 (1)1865 (1)1866 (1)1873 (1)1884 (2)1886 (1)1888 (1)1889 (1)1890 (1)1891 (1)1892 (1)1894 (1)1902 (2)1903 (1)1904 (1)1909 (1)1912 (1)1916 (1)1924 (1)1929 (1)1937 (1)1940 (1)1941 (1)1945 (1)1951 (1)InstitutionAllAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (1)American Museum of Natural History (3)Collège de France (1)Columbia University (4)ETH Zurich (1)Harvard University (1)Johns Hopkins University (1)National Academy of Sciences (7)Natural History Museum, London (1)Princeton University (2)Royal Society (14)Smithsonian Institution (1)The Geological Society of London (8)United States Geological Survey (2)University of Cambridge (1)University of Pennsylvania (1)University of Vienna (1)Yale University (2)In GroupAllPaleontologists (73)NationalityAllArmenia (1)Austria (1)Belgium (1)Canada (1)China (2)Denmark (1)England (1)France (9)Germany (5)Ireland (2)Kingdom of Italy (1)Poland (1)South Africa (1)United Kingdom (26)United States (24)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 73Adolphe d'ArchiacEarth Sciences2 linksAlbert GaudryEarth Sciences2 linksAlfred Sherwood RomerEarth Sciences2 linksAndrew KnollEarth Sciences2 linksArthur Smith WoodwardEarth Sciences2 linksBarnum BrownEarth Sciences1 linkCarlo FornasiniEarth Sciences1 linkCharles BarroisEarth Sciences2 linksCharles Doolittle WalcottEarth Sciences2 linksCharles LapworthEarth Sciences2 linksCharles SchuchertEarth Sciences2 linksDavid Meredith Seares WatsonEarth Sciences1 linkEdouard de VerneuilEarth Sciences1 linkEduard SuessEarth Sciences2 linksEdward Drinker CopeEarth Sciences5 linksEdward Oscar UlrichEarth Sciences1 linkFrancis John PettijohnEarth Sciences2 linksFrank PressEarth Sciences2 linksG.
