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 Results78 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)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)NationalityAllArmenia (1)Austria (1)Belgium (1)Canada (1)China (2)Denmark (1)England (1)France (9)Germany (6)Ireland (2)Italy (1)Kingdom of Italy (1)Poland (1)South Africa (1)United Kingdom (29)United States (24)FieldAllAnthropology (2)Archaeology (1)Astronomy (1)Biology (14)Chemistry (2)Earth Science (67)Engineering (1)Mathematics (1)Medicine (2)Oceanography (1)Physics (3)InstitutionAllAcademie des Sciences (2)American Academy of Arts and Sciences (4)American Association for the Advancement of Science (1)American Museum of Natural History (3)American Philosophical Society (3)Collège de France (1)Columbia University (4)Copley Medal (2)ETH Zurich (1)Geological Survey of Canada (1)Hanlin Academy (1)Harvard University (1)Heidelberg University (1)Johns Hopkins University (1)Museum of Comparative Zoology (1)National Academy of Sciences (7)National Museum of Natural History, France (3)Natural History Museum, London (1)Princeton University (2)Royal Society (17)Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (3)Smithsonian Institution (1)The Geological Society of London (10)United States Geological Survey (3)University College London (1)University of Birmingham (1)University of Bologna (1)University of Cambridge (2)University of Copenhagen (1)University of Kansas (1)University of Lille (2)University of Liège (1)University of Padua (1)University of Pennsylvania (1)University of Tehran (1)University of Vienna (2)Yale University (2)In GroupAllPaleontologists (73)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 50Adolphe d'ArchiacEarth Sciences4 linksAlbert GaudryEarth Sciences4 linksAlfred Sherwood RomerEarth Sciences3 linksAndrew KnollEarth Sciences2 linksArthur Smith WoodwardEarth Sciences2 linksBarnum BrownEarth Sciences2 linksCarlo FornasiniEarth Sciences2 linksCharles BarroisEarth Sciences6 linksCharles Doolittle WalcottEarth Sciences2 linksCharles LapworthEarth Sciences2 linksCharles SchuchertEarth Sciences2 linksDavid Meredith Seares WatsonEarth Sciences2 linksEdouard de VerneuilEarth Sciences2 linksEduard SuessEarth Sciences2 linksEdward Drinker CopeEarth Sciences5 linksEdward LhuydEarth Sciences3 linksEdward Oscar UlrichEarth Sciences1 linkFrancis John PettijohnEarth Sciences2 linksFrank PressEarth Sciences2 linksG.
