	Vertebrate paleontology of the Balcones Fault trend
		Vertebrate fossils are known from numerous localities of Cretaceous and Quaternary age in the Balcones fault zone.
		Quaternary vertebrates are known from cave deposits of the Edwards Plateau and terrace deposits on the Gulf Coastal,Plain.
		Vertebrate fossils of Cretaceous age are sparsely distributed throughout the Balcones fault trend.

	Fossil Groups - Vertebrates
		In higher vertebrates, such as humans, the notochord is most readily seen in embryos and becomes almost wholly replaced by vertebrae as the animals mature.
		Vertebrate fossils occur throughout the last half billion years of the geologic column, but they generally are too rare in early Paleozoic beds to be of much biostratigraphic use.
		Vertebrate studies are helping to document the rise of modern human culture and to work out the timing and directions of early human migrations from Africa.

	American Museum of Natural History
		The Department of Vertebrate Paleontology was founded in 1892 by H. Osborn (who later became Museum president—the first Museum president trained as a scientist).
		The Museum’s vertebrate paleontology collection is the largest and most diverse of its kind in the world, including more than one million specimens.
		The vertebrates department has benefited through the years by a close association with the Frick Laboratory, resulting in the transfer to the Museum in 1968 of the fossil mammal collection amassed by Museum Trustee Childs Frick.

		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).
		Questions regarding available data for such specimens should be directed to the vertebrate paleontology collections manager.
		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.

		Vertebrates are only one of about 3 dozen phyla of multicelled animals, and - except for the fact we are ourselves vertebrates - it seems strange to spend an entire semester on just one phylum.
		Nonetheless, vertebrates are large and obvious creatures we easily see around us all the time and there has always been a special focus on them.
		Even in the study of paleontology there has always been a tradition of a course on invertebrate paleontology (that includes everything that is not a vertebrate, so bacteria and protists also), plus one on paleobotany, and finally one on vertebrate paleontology.

	Nearctica - Paleontology - Vertebrates - Vertebrate Phylogeny
		These early jawed fish, appearing in the Silurian, are known as placoderms and gave rise in their turn to the Chondrichthyes (sharks and rays) and the Osteichthyes (bony fish) in the Devonian.
		One line of the bony fish, the Sarcopterygii (represented today by the lungfish and the coelocanth) are the first vertebrates to move unto land during the Devonian giving rise to the tetrapods (terrestrial vertebrates).
		These first terrestrial vertebrates gave rise to a multitude of lineages during the late Devonian to early Permian that are generally grouped under the name of "amphibians".

	Royal Alberta Museum: Collections and Research: Quaternary Paleontology
		Quaternary Paleontology is the study of fossil organisms that lived during the last 1.8 million years, a block of time that is conventionally divided into the Pleistocene Epoch (the "Ice Age") and the Holocene Epoch, or postglacial period (the last 10,000 years).
		The Royal Alberta Museum's program, begun in 1983, deals principally with the record of Pleistocene vertebrates from Alberta, of which the majority are less than 50,000 years old.
		This is conveniently within the range of radiocarbon dating, the major tool used to determine the timing and sequence of glacial and biological events of the late Quaternary.
