Paleontology is the scientific study of life-forms existing in former geological time periods. Fossils, the remains or imprint of a plant or animal preserved from prehistoric times by natural methods and found mainly in sedimentary rock, asphalt, coal, and amber, are the chief data upon which paleontological study is based.

Everything Paleontology This is a site you can use to inform you about the science of paleontology and related topics. So you have to do a project on paleontology? http://www.paleontology.esmartstudent.com/
Extractions: A Postosuchus painted by Joe Tucciarone Paleontology is the study of prehistoric life through fossils. I've loved everything to do with it since pre-school, and if you haven't, you can now. Imagine it though, a world completely different than our own, with things we couldn't even imagine today. It almost seems like a movie or a storybook. It is our own world though, just in it's youth. It is like having the ability to travel back in time, to see what was there before us, what makes us what we are today. To realize that we are only a small part of a very big picture. My main question that I'm going to attempt to answer in this site is "What killed the dinosaurs?", a question that has been long debated but never answered. Believe it or not, this site is actually packed full of useful information, all you have to do is click the buttons. Thats right, the buttons. So, to end my beginning, whether you are visiting this site because you are in class and you have to, or if you came here to learn something about paleontology, or if you just surfed in, please enjoy your stay, and I hope you learn something. Oh, and if you're a hacker with the intention of destroying my site for fun, please mail me, because I like hackers. Oh, and a BIG thanks to Joe Tucciarone for his dinosaur paintings.

UCMP: A History Of Evolutionary Thought A timeline with information on major contributors to biology, geology, and paleontology from Aristotle up to the 20th century. From the UC Berkeley Museum of paleontology. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/history/evothought.html
Extractions: THE THEORY of evolution, formalized by Charles Darwin, is as much theory as is the theory of gravity, or the theory of relativity. Unlike theories of physics, biological theories (especially evolution) have been argued long and hard in socio-political arenas. The history of thought about evolution in general and paleontological contributions specifically are often useful to the workers of today. Science, like any iterative process, draws heavily from its history. The list below includes scientists and thinkers who have contributed to our understanding of life on Earth, especially evolution. The list is given chronologically, and is divided into sections according to themes in the history of evolutionary thought. Timeline of Evolutionary Thought: Get a graphical view of some

Dinosaurs It was comparable with that of hawks, meaning that it hunted. Once again, this is one of the great things about paleontology. There http://www.paleontology.esmartstudent.com/dinosaurs.html
Extractions: Creatures Main Page Mammals Trilobites Search The Web! We've all heard about dinosaurs. They have become quite popular, and starred in many movies. Little children have cute little T-rexs on their shirts and play with soft, cuddly dinosaur toys (Well, I do too...). Basicly, dinosaurs have become like fairy tale creatures, but they are more than that. I know it is very hard to believe, but those huge monsters you saw on Jurassic Park actually walked, lived and breathed on the exact same land as you do. Also, even though we don't know for sure, I highly doubt that they behaved like they did on Jurassic Park. Basically, they were just normal, wild animals, like a lion is today, just 1000 times heavier. What is a dinosaur? Marine Reptiles The word dinosaur means "terrible lizard". Dinosaurs were reptiles, meaning that they had no fur and hatched from eggs. They were closely related to lizards, but were really very different. There are many differences, but the main one lies where you'd least expect it. It is the way their legs join to their hips. It sounds funny, but if you think about it really, it is true. If you look at a lizard, you'll notice that their legs are in a kind of squatted position, with the legs going out to the side. A dinosaurs legs, however, go straight down, much like our own. So, that is how you can tell the difference between a dinosaur and a lizard, if you should ever encounter one, or if it is a question on Jeopardy.
