	CMNH Invertebrate Paleontology: Section History
		In the past century the discipline of paleontology has grown and evolved from a science of "collect and name" to one that integrates sedimentological, ecological, and evolutionary principles into a cohesive discipline that merges life science and earth history.
		The history of invertebrate paleontology at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, its collections, staff, and their backgrounds parallel the history of paleontology.
		This stage in the development of paleontology might be called "the cataloguing period." Paleontological publications from this period are filled with beautiful illustrations of new species that had been collected from rocks of various ages from around the globe.

	Paleontology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paleontology (sometimes spelled palaeontology) is the study of the developing history of life on Earth, including ancient plants and animals, based on their fossil record (evidence of their prehistoric existence as typically preserved in sedimentary rocks).
		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 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'.

	Paleontology Careers
		Paleontology is the study of the history of life on Earth, as reflected in the fossil record.
		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.
		The courses that are most pertinent to paleontology include the following: mineralogy, stratigraphy/sedimentation, sedimentary petrology, invertebrate paleontology, ecology, invertebrate and vertebrate zoology, evolutionary biology, genetics.

		In the past century the science of paleontology has grown and evolved from a science of "collect and describe" to one that integrates sedimentological, ecological, and evolutionary principles into a cohesive discipline that bounds the life and earth sciences.
		The development of the Section of Invertebrate Paleontology of Carnegie Museum of Natural History and its collections mirrors the growth of paleontology, and the curators seated during the past hundred years does likewise.
		This stage in the development of paleontology might be called "the cataloguing period." Publications from those days typically illustrated and described new genera and species from various rock units of every age and location.

	What is Paleontology? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Paleontology is a rich field, imbued with a long and interesting past and an even more intriguing and hopeful future.
		In short, paleontology is the study of what fossils tell us about the ecologies of the past, about evolution, and about our place, as humans, in the world.
		Paleontology incorporates knowledge from biology, geology, ecology, anthropology, archaeology, and even computer science to understand the processes that have led to the origination and eventual destruction of the different types of organisms since life arose.

	Invertebrate Paleontology Exhibits

		Opposite the Cenozoic mammal exhibits is a display of preservation types called "What is a fossil?" that features several invertebrates including: giant oysters; corals; mollusk shell casts and molds; worm tubes; and burrows.
		The oyster and barnacle encrusted giant clam Inoceramus platinus Logan, 1898 from the Late Cretaceous (Santonian) Niobrara Formation of Logan County, Kansas, and the "Flying Ammonite" Pachydiscus catarinae (Anderson, 1935) from the Late Cretaceous (74 my) Cabrillo Formation of San Diego County, California are also on display in opposite the Cenozoic mammals.

	A Manual for Authors - Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology
		From the outset the aim of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology has been to present a comprehensive and authoritative yet compact statement of knowledge concerning groups of invertebrate fossils.
		The outline may vary somewhat among Treatise volumes since the study of each major group of invertebrate fossils is likely to be characterized by special areas of emphasis.
		For groups of invertebrate fossils that are not yet ready for full-fledged phylogenetic analysis, a major function of the Treatise will continue to be as a tool for investigation, phylogenetic and otherwise, rather than as a medium in which to publish current phylogenetic speculation, especially at the generic level.

	Graduate Program in Paleontology
		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.
		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.
