	Presidential Lectures: Stephen Jay Gould: Introduction
		He has been Professor of Geology and Zoology at Harvard University, currently as the Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology and Professor of Geology at Harvard University, Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology in the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology, and adjunct member of the Department of the History of Science.
		He has established a reputation as one of Harvard's most visible and engaging instructors, offering courses in paleontology, biology, geology, and the history of science.
		Gould's interest in paleontology grew unabated through his childhood and teenage years, rivaling his intense passion for the New York Yankees.

	The Unofficial Stephen Jay Gould Archive
		For more than 30 years Gould served on the faculty at Harvard, where he was Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology, Professor of Geology, Biology, and the History of Science, as well as curator for Invertebrate Paleontology at the institution's Museum of Comparative Zoology.
		His monthly columns in Natural History magazine and his popular works on evolution have earned him numerous awards and one of the largest readerships in the popular-science genre — penning altogether over twenty successful books throughout his career.
		On this website you will find articles by Gould and his colleagues focusing on the finer points of his work, the nature of life's evolution, and the general ontogeny of evolutionary theory.

	Florida Fossil Permit Application
		The state intends to encourage preservation of its heritage wherever vertebrate fossils are discovered; the state encourages all persons having knowledge of such fossils to notify the Program of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Florida Museum of Natural History.
		All vertebrate fossils found on lands owned or leased by the state belong to the state with title thereto vested in the Florida Museum of Natural History.
		This application is for a permit that will entitle the person named on the permit to collect, for the period of one (1) year, vertebrate fossils on land owned or leased by the State of Florida.

	FLMNH Databases - Vertebrate Paleontology
		The Florida Museum of Natural History Division of Vertebrate Paleontology houses three separately catalogued collections of fossil vertebrates: the museum's own collection (official acronym UF); the collection formerly housed by the Florida Geological Survey (UF/FGS); and the collection amassed by the late Pierce Brodkorb of the Department of Zoology at the University of Florida (UF/PB).
		In 1976 the entire FGS fossil vertebrate collection was transferred to the Florida Museum of Natural History with support from a National Science Foundation grant.
		Questions regarding available data for such specimens should be directed to the vertebrate paleontology collections manager.

	Paleontology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paleontology (the American spelling; the British spelling is palaeontology) is the study of the developing history of life on Earth, of ancient plants and animals based on the fossil record, evidence of their existence preserved in rocks.
		Paleontology utilizes the same classic binomial nomenclature scheme devised for the biology of living things by the mid 18th century Swedish biologist Carolus Linnaeus and increasingly sets these species in a genealogical framework, showing their degrees of interrelatedness using the still somewhat controversial technique of "cladistics".
		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 changed the planetary environment in turn, and how these mutual responses have affected today's patterns of biodiversity.

	Paleontology Careers
		Paleontology is the study of the history of life on Earth, as reflected in the fossil record.
		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.
		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.
