Type specimen of the Velociraptor skull Museum scientists in the Division of Paleontology study the history of life on Earth through the discovery, analysis, and comparison of fossil remains of dinosaurs, mammals, birds, fishes, reptiles, and invertebrates. The Division is divided into two departmental units, for invertebrates and vertebrates. Since 1990, the Division’s joint expeditions to the Gobi Desert of Mongolia with the Mongolian Academy of Sciences have yielded spectacular discoveries of dinosaurs, birds, and mammals. These expeditions continue the Museum’s groundbreaking work in this location in the 1920s under the leadership of Roy Chapman Andrews. Other recent expeditions have brought the Museum invertebrate fossils from Morocco, dinosaur fossils from China, and fish fossils from Brazil. Norman D. Newell led the invertebrates department through the later half of the 20th century. He specialized in the systematics and evolution of Paleozoic bivalves (clams) and he helped to establish the study of paleoecology and mass extinctions. Fossil Protoceratops baby The Department of Vertebrate Paleontology was founded in 1892 by H. F. Osborn (who later became Museum president—the first Museum president trained as a scientist). Under Osborn, the Department grew through many expeditions, including the 1920s Central Asiatic Expedition into the Gobi Desert, which resulted in numerous discoveries of dinosaurs. After Osborn’s retirement, the Department was led by George Gaylord Simpson, Edwin H. Colbert, and Bobb Schaeffer. Because of these three curators’ research, the Museum became central to the study of paleozoogeography (Colbert), the "Evolutionary Synthesis" (Simpson), and functional morphology (Schaeffer).

Research Project Members Recent ... Contact Us The Transantarctic Vertebrate Paleontology Project involves the collection and study of Triassic to Jurassic age vertebrates from the southern Transantarctic Mountains near the Beardmore and Shackleton Glaciers, Antarctica. William R. Hammer of Augustana College, currently the Principal Investigator on a National Science Foundation grant supporting this research, has led seven vertebrate collecting expeditions to these regions since 1977. To date faunas of four different ages have been studied. Included among the taxa discovered are synapsids, prolacertids, procolophonids, a rauisuchid and a variety of temnospondyl amphibians from the Early Triassic, synapsids and large capitosaurid temnospondyls from the early Middle Triassic, a few indeterminant bone fragments and a dicynodont tusk from the Late Traissic. The theropod Cryolophosaurus ellioti , along with the basal sauropodomorph, Glacialisaurus hammeri , ?sauropod, tritylodont, and pterosaur taxa are known from the Early Jurassic.

Paleontology Father of American Vetebrate Paleontology Father of American Vertebrate Paleontology Joseph Leidy is best known for his study of the dinosaur Hadrosaurus foulkii , which greatly advanced knowledge of these prehistoric giants and placed the United States at the scientific forefront of vertebrate paleontology. Leidy studied other fossil animals, including fishes and reptiles, but most of Leidy's paleontological work was on prehistoric mammals, especially those from the American West. Leidy was the leading American expert on anatomy and vertebrate paleontology during the middle 19th Century. Because of this, fossil collectors from across the country sent their finds to his office at The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. Liedy was thankful for these offerings and would acknowledge the collectors in print. Unfortunately, the state-of-the-art for the collection and care of fossils was so primitive that the specimens were usually badly damaged and seriously incomplete. Despite these limitations, Leidy's mastery of comparative anatomy and powers of observation enabled him to generate numerous major findings and discoveries.

They never walked side by side. The Creation Museum neglects to include this critical data in its analysis of the history of life on earth. "Most of us in the public view museums as places to get the latest information on scientific discovery. In this case, the Creation Museum is using the disguise of science museums and centers without including an iota of science inside," said Dr. Kristi Curry Rogers of the Science Museum of Minnesota. by Staff Writers Northbrook IL (SPX) Jul 26, 2007 Professional paleontologists from around the world are concerned about the misrepresentation of science at the newly opened Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky. The Creation Museum has been marketed to the public as a "reasoned, logical defence" for young-earth creationism by Ken Ham, the President and CEO of Answers in Genesis, which runs the Creation Museum. The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, a world-wide scientific and educational organization concerned with vertebrate paleontology, contends that the museum presents visitors with a view of earth history that has been scientifically disproven for over a century. The Creation Museum's fossil exhibitions, though artistically impressive, include a vast number of scientific errors, large and small. These errors range from implying that the Earth's sedimentary rocks were deposited by a single biblical Flood, to claiming that humans and dinosaurs lived alongside one another, to denouncing the reality of transitional fossils.

Vertebrate Paleontology (3) 3 credits. Offered spring of odd numbered years. A study of the origin and evolution of the vertebrates. Emphasis will be on understanding how the processes of earth evolution and biological evolution have interacted through time to produce a coherent picture of vertebrate history. Prerequisite: GEOL 230, BIO 124 or permission of the instructor. Note: prerequisites are waved if you have some background in biology or geology. With a mixed group of biology and geology majors I have to explain geology concepts to the biologists and biology concepts to the geologists, so everything has to be developed from first principles anyway.

Graduate Program in Invertebrate Paleontology Geology Homepage About KSU Geology People Courses ... Links PROGRAM The Department of Geology at Kent State University offers a strong program in invertebrate paleontology at the M.S. and Ph.D. levels. Although the focus of most graduate research is on paleoecology and paleobiogeography, strong emphasis is placed on fundamental aspects of the science, including systematic paleontology, anatomy, evolution, and functional morphology. Associated fields of sedimentology and stratigraphy provide additional breadth to assure that the graduate is prepared to teach or conduct meaningful independent research in paleontology, paleo-environmental studies, and sedimentary geology. Instruction in, and application of, quantitative methods is integral to all programs. RESEARCH Research programs in paleontology are tailored to the interests of each student. Thus, it is possible to undertake work on organisms within a broad range of phyla spanning the Phanerozoic and to utilize appropriate geological and biological approaches to solve problems. The emphasis is on training in fundamentals and completion of quality, publishable research.
