Artificial Intelligence Finds Fossil Sites 2011-11-08T22:15:09.843Z Manchester palaeontologist Phil Manning described the discovery as an insight into "the chemistry of life itself". Fossils show 'chemistry of life' 2011-06-30T18:01:05Z Their pitch was simple: they would use the words in Google’s corpus to track the path of culture over time, just as palaeontologists use fossils to deduce the evolution of living things. The Renaissance Man: How to Become a Scientist Over and Over Again 2011-06-08T13:15:10.513Z Many modern palaeontologists try to do something similar, except that what they reconstruct is behaviour. Prehistoric reptiles: A loving mother 2011-08-10T18:18:00Z In November 1844 he resigned the curatorship of the Geological Society, and became palaeontologist to the Geological Survey of Great Britain.

Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 4, Part 3 "Brescia" to "Bulgaria" It is a large herbivorous dinosaur of the closing period of the Age of Reptiles and is known to palaeontologists as Trachodon or more popularly as the 'duck-billed dinosaur.' Dinosaurs With Special Reference to the American Museum Collections The gigantic Irish elk, Cervus megaseros, belongs more to the palaeontologist than to the historian, as it is supposed to have existed only in pre-historic times. An Illustrated History of Ireland from AD 400 to 1800 Within the cavity of the rib of an extinct animal, the palaeontologist thus finds recorded, in indelible characters, some of those hieroglyphics upon which he founds his history. COSMOS: A Sketch of the Physical Description of the Universe, Vol. 1 The researches of palaeontologists and embryologists indicate a reptilian origin for birds and mammals, while reptiles and amphibia arose, perhaps independently, from fishes. Darwinism (1889) Like those creatures, they too were full of life in their time and made a great deal of noise; but now they are stiff and fossilised, and only of interest to the literary palaeontologist. Essays of Schopenhauer If the cavern were near Paris it would give rise to a fierce competition between the palaeontologist and the chiffonnier, but placed where it is the soil has not yet been much disturbed. Wanderings by southern waters, eastern Aquitaine We are well pleased at this moment to find that the conclusions we were arriving at in this respect are sustained by the very high authority and impartial judgment of Pictet, the Swiss palaeontologist. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 06, No. 34, August, 1860 Dr. Traas, a famous palaeontologist, concludes: "The idea that mankind is descended from any simian species whatever, is certainly the most foolish ever put forth by a man writing on the history of man." The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved In 50 Arguments He is a born palaeontologist: that is, he can build up an epic from a hint. The Book-Bills of Narcissus An Account Rendered by Richard Le Gallienne In the opinion of many palaeontologists, the ancestors of the present hoofed beasts, or ungulates, were contained among these Condylarthra, as they were named by Prof. Cope. American Big Game in Its Haunts In commencing these remarks, mention was made of the great obligations under which the naturalist lies to the geologist and palaeontologist. Discourses Biological and Geological Essays An account of the fossil remains, so called, was first published in 1844 by M. Aymard of Le Puy, a writer of deservedly high authority both as a palaeontologist and archaeologist.* The Antiquity of Man It holds good even of Australia; for palaeontologists produce fossil remains of marsupials or kangaroos. The Life of the Fields In the heavens only the astronomer with his prisms and telescopes traces them; only the geologist and palaeontologist read their history in the earth's crust. Time and Change This is the idea of the excellent Swiss vegetable palaeontologist, Heer, who imagines a sudden change of specific type at certain periods, and perhaps is that of Pictet. Darwiniana; Essays and Reviews Pertaining to Darwinism The tooth-marks of these last had been detected by palaeontologists long before on the bones and skulls of Paleotheres entombed in the gypsum. The Student's Elements of Geology They were said to consist of a stag, an antelope, and a goat, all named by M. Marcel de Serres as new; but the majority of palaeontologists do not agree with this opinion. The Antiquity of Man Instead of rudimentary trilobites, I noticed remains of a more perfect order of beings, amongst others ganoid fishes and some of those sauroids in which palaeontologists have discovered the earliest reptile forms. A Journey to the Interior of the Earth Only the palaeontologist traces in the records of the rocks the footsteps of this god of change. Time and Change As some of our zoologists and palaeontologists may have somewhat to say upon this matter, we leave it for their consideration. Darwiniana; Essays and Reviews Pertaining to Darwinism By many able palaeontologists the species of fossils, more than fifty in number, were declared to be more Eocene in their appearance than Cretaceous. The Student's Elements of Geology If the several vertebrae of the wild and lop-eared rabbits, of which figures have been given, had been found fossil, palaeontologists would have declared without hesitation that they had belonged to distinct species. The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication — Volume 1 I have seen a good deal of French geologists and palaeontologists lately, and there are many whom I should like to put on the R.S. More Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 2 By the way, I met the other day Phillips, the palaeontologist, and he asked me, "How do you define a species?" More Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 1 No cautious palaeontologist would express a decided opinion on the matter. Mr.Gladstone and Genesis Another remarkable animal restored by the great French palaeontologist, the Palaeotherium, similarly tended to connect together animals to all appearance so different as the rhinoceros, the horse, and the tapir. Lectures on Evolution These details sound like the descriptions given by palaeontologists of the first appearance, the increasing rarity, and final extinction or modification of fossil species, embedded in the successive stages of a geological formation. The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication — Volume 1 The principles of investigation thus excellently stated and illustrated by Steno in 1669, are those which have, consciously or unconsciously, guided the researches of palaeontologists ever since. The Rise and Progress of Palaeontology Mr. Hyatt, an excellent palaeontologist of the United States, visited the place, and likewise assured me that Hilgendorf was quite mistaken. More Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 1 It is on this very simple principle, and not upon imaginary laws of physiological correlation, about which, in most cases, we know nothing whatever, that the so-called restorations of the palaeontologist are based. On the Method of Zadig And I found by correspondence with the late eminent French anatomist and palaeontologist, M. Lartet, that he had arrived at the same conclusion from the same data. Lectures on Evolution There will not be soon one good palaeontologist who believes in immutability. Life and Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 2 The celebrated palaeontologist, Bronn, at the close of his German translation of this work, asks how, on the principle of natural selection, can a variety live side by side with the parent species? The Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection, 6th Edition The subject is clearly one which must be investigated by other methods than those of the palaeontologist; still there are certain important points involved, on which the palaeontological record appears to bear. Darwin and Modern Science The palaeontologist was, by this time, able to speak as confidently about the animal of the Belemnite, as Zadig was respecting the queen's spaniel. On the Method of Zadig The case most frequently insisted on by palaeontologists of the apparently sudden appearance of a whole group of species, is that of the teleostean fishes, low down in the Chalk period. On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection, or, the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life The case most frequently insisted on by palaeontologists of the apparently sudden appearance of a whole group of species, is that of the teleostean fishes, low down, according to Agassiz, in the Chalk period. The Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection, 6th Edition But Sir Charles Lyell now gives the support of his high authority to the opposite side, and most geologists and palaeontologists are much shaken in their former belief. The Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection, 6th Edition Many morphologists regard the early amphibia as the ancestral group from which the mammals were derived, while most palaeontologists believe that the mammals are descended from the reptiles.
