Home›Life 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)Geology; stratigraphy and the principle of faunal succession (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'ArchiacEarth SciencesAlbert GaudryEarth SciencesAlfred Sherwood RomerEarth SciencesAndrew KnollEarth SciencesArthur Smith WoodwardEarth SciencesBarnum BrownEarth SciencesCarlo FornasiniEarth SciencesCharles BarroisEarth SciencesCharles Doolittle WalcottEarth SciencesCharles LapworthEarth SciencesCharles SchuchertEarth SciencesDavid Meredith Seares WatsonEarth SciencesEdouard de VerneuilEarth SciencesEduard SuessEarth SciencesEdward Drinker CopeEarth SciencesEdward Oscar UlrichEarth SciencesFrancis John PettijohnEarth SciencesFrank PressEarth SciencesG.
