The animal, most likely an adult triceratops, was not the last dinosaur standing, but the last survivor of their impressive reign to be identified by palaeontologists. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Since then palaeontologists have largely taken it as the starting point for bird life. ❋ Unknown (2011)
If you were playing palaeontologists, you would be allowed Edward Drinker Cope, but I doubt many outside that field would agree with the tag “celebrity”. ❋ Unknown (2010)
A lot of palaeontologists are excited at the moment because we appear to be really punctual for this one. on April 18, 2010 at 10: 09 am MPS Probie ❋ Inspector Gadget (2010)
At the moment that looks like we will have two small palaeontologists on our hands, judging by the dinosaur factor. ❋ Unknown (2011)
"Suppose one of our palaeontologists found the remains of a million-year-old human," said archaeologist Mike Pitts of the Stonehenge Riverside Project. ❋ Robin McKie (2010)
"Some palaeontologists, inlcuding myself, thought that this is exactly what the common ancestor to Old World monkeys and apes would look like, based on resemblances between Miocene fossil Old World monkeys and apes, whereas others thought they would be shorter snouted and more round-headed like modern gibbons." ❋ Unknown (2010)
Not only did it show rugged palaeontologists at work, and explain how they knew things, it also showed animators slaving over hot computers to bring the dinosaurs back to life ... ❋ Zornhau (2008)
Many palaeontologists now believe that dinosaurs 'horns were often more for sexual display and fighting off other members of the same species, much like rutting deer. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The 30s was not agood time for employment for a young palaeontologist, but in 1938 Harry secured a Commonwealth fellowship to Yale University and established contacts with north American palaeontologists that would serve him well. ❋ Richard Fortey (2010)
* Though usually described (by palaeontologists) as a palaeontologist, Cope was also an accomplished herpetologist and ichthyologist, which explains the name of the journal Copeia. ❋ Darren Naish (2007)
The claim had divided palaeontologists into two distinct camps, with one camp vociferously arguing that the remains belonged to a new species. ❋ Unknown (2007)
According to David Polly, one of the editors of the journal in which the research is published, “this is a controversial conclusion, and many palaeontologists will remain sceptical”, but we already know that flying theropod dinosaurs more generally referred to as birds and crocodiles survived, so the possibility of pockets of survivors of other types of dinosaur is not quite as far fetched as it might sound. ❋ Unknown (2009)
We do see movies about volcanoes with geologists, and a few movies like Jurassic Park with - palaeontologists? ❋ ReBecca Foster (2009)
Research undertaken by palaeontologists involves the removal of fossil-bearing limestone from the nominated site under permit. ❋ Unknown (2009)
According to palaeontologists at the Natural History Museum, men have evolved short faces between the brow and upper lip, which exaggerates the size of their jaw, the flare of their cheeks and their eyebrows. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Or maybe International Year of True History; if human history is just a fiddly insignificant epilogue to palaeontologists, then the history of life is just a fiddly insignificant epilogue to astronomers, after all. ❋ Ms_ntropy (2009)
And unfortunately, instead of getting together to agree that ambiguously intermediate fossils are exactly what we should expect on the evolution theory, the palaeontologists could probably be relied upon to give an entirely false impression by seeming almost to come to blows over their terminological disagreement. ❋ RICHARD DAWKINS (2009)
In fact, it would probably be called Homo by half the palaeontologists and Australopithecus by the other half. ❋ RICHARD DAWKINS (2009)
