Paleontology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Palaeontology redirects here. For the scientific journal , see Palaeontology (journal) Paleontology palaeontology or pal¦ontology (from Greek: paleo , "ancient"; ontos , "being"; and logos , "knowledge") is the study of prehistoric life forms on Earth through the examination of plant and animal fossils This includes the study of body fossils , tracks ( ichnites burrows , cast-off parts, fossilised faeces coprolites palynomorphs and chemical residues. Studies of prehistoric hominins , their culture and their behaviour are the purview of two other disciplines, archaeology and paleoanthropology Contents Background Notable paleontologists See also References ... edit Background Modern paleontology sets ancient life in its contexts by studying how long-term physical changes of global geography paleogeography and climate paleoclimate have affected the evolution of life, how ecosystems have responded to these changes and have adapted the planetary environment in turn and how these mutual responses have affected today's patterns of biodiversity .

Lee published in the latest Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences . By looking at many thin slices of dinosaur bone Werning and Lee were able to find individuals with calcium-rich deposits that accumulated prior to egg-laying. The fact that these individuals were still adolescents is an important piece of information for understanding the lives of dinosaurs.

Paleontology at the U.S. Geological Survey Welcome to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Paleontology Home Page! Paleontology , the science which uses fossils to study life in past geologic time , has served an important role in geologic studies at the USGS since its establishment in 1879. As early as 1882, paleontologists like Othniel C. Marsh and Charles A. White, were making expeditions to the West , and returning with massive numbers of fossil specimens to be labeled, named, and described. In recent years, many of the paleontologic studies at the USGS have moved beyond the early collection, observation, and description endeavors. Today, USGS paleontologists are using the knowledge they gain in their study of fossils to answer important questions such as: (1) what was the world like in the past, (2) what were the forces that made the world change, and (3) how could these forces impact the world in our lifetime and that of future generations. Paleontologic tools also have changed significantly over the years. Scanning electron microscopes , ship-mounted drilling rigs, and computers are a far cry from the picks and hammers of early days, although these tools still are an essential part of every paleontologist's field kit.

10. Paleontology Careers Most professional paleontologists are just such lucky people. They are people consumed with a passion to understand the history of life on earth. http://www.priweb.org/ed/lol/careers.html

I Want To Be A Paleontologist ! Advice for Students and Parents Paleontological Research Institution Ithaca, NY There is no luckier person than the person who can make their passion their career. Most professional paleontologists are just such lucky people. They are people consumed with a passion to understand the history of life on earth. Paleontology is fun, thrilling, and fascinating, but it is also hard work. It is not "easier" than the more traditional "core" science disciplines of physics, chemistry, biology, or geology. In many ways, paleontology is more difficult than any other science because to be a good paleontologist you must know a great deal about all of these fields. Paleontology is among the broadest of sciences. What is paleontology? What background do I need in high school? The best starting point is a college preparatory program with as many science and math courses as possible. Outside reading in paleontology and visiting museums with fossil displays is helpful for building up knowledge of fossils themselves. No matter how interested or knowledgeable a student is in paleontology, however, good overall grades in high school are almost always required for admission to a good college or university, which is a necessary prerequisite for a career in paleontology. What background do I need in college?

Paleontology is a rich field, imbued with a long and interesting past and an even more intriguing and hopeful future. Many people think Paleontology is the study of fossils. Paleontology is much more. It is the study of what fossils tell us about the ecologies of the past, about evolution, and about our place, as humans, in the world. Paleontology incorporates knowledge from biology, geology, ecology, anthropology, archaeology, and even computer science to understand the processes that have led to the origination and eventual destruction of the different types of animals since life arose. The exhibits that we have set up here are created by Paleontogists. More than just an overview of the diversity that has existed through time on this planet, the exhibits also highlite some of the research Paleontologists are conducting at the Museum of Paleontology. The exhibit might be visualized as starting at the center of a museum with halls spreading in each direction. Off the main hallway, many a smaller branch spread. Unlike normal hallways, the hallways you are following are actually the path that evolution is supposed to have taken. These halls are called scientifically cladograms and they show explicitly the ancestor and decendent relationships among lineages or groups of animals. Reconstructing this pattern of ancestry and descent is one of the many important areas where fossil information proves vital.
