Home›Earth Sciences›In Group›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.FactsPaleontologistsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonField EstablishedWell-attested1822 1PaleontologistsFilter Results73 entriesDisciplineAllGeology (1)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 (1)1774 (1)1784 (1)1787 (1)1790 (1)1792 (1)1794 (1)1795 (1)1798 (1)1799 (1)1800 (2)1801 (1)1802 (2)1805 (1)1806 (1)1808 (1)1809 (2)1817 (1)1821 (1)1827 (1)1828 (1)1830 (1)1831 (2)1832 (1)1840 (1)1842 (1)1849 (1)1850 (1)1851 (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 (1)1903 (1)1909 (1)1912 (1)1916 (1)1924 (1)1929 (1)1940 (1)1951 (1)NationalityAllAustria (1)Belgium (1)China (2)Denmark (1)France (8)Germany (3)Poland (1)United Kingdom (22)United States (17)BrowseCompareSelect all 73Adolphe d'ArchiacPaleontologistsAlbert GaudryPaleontologistsAlfred Sherwood RomerPaleontologistsAndrew KnollPaleontologistsArthur Smith WoodwardPaleontologistsBarnum BrownPaleontologistsCarlo FornasiniPaleontologistsCharles BarroisPaleontologistsCharles Doolittle WalcottPaleontologistsCharles LapworthPaleontologistsCharles SchuchertPaleontologistsDavid Meredith Seares WatsonPaleontologistsEdouard de VerneuilPaleontologistsEduard SuessPaleontologistsEdward Drinker CopePaleontologistsEdward Oscar UlrichPaleontologistsFrancis John PettijohnPaleontologistsFrank PressPaleontologistsG.
