Sejarah paleontologi

Duria Antiquior

Sejarah paleontologi ialah satu kaedah untuk memahami sejarah kehidupan di Bumi dengan mengkaji catatan fosil yang ditinggalkan oleh organisme-organisme hidup. Oleh sebab ia berpusat pada pemahaman organisme hidup pada masa lampau, paleontologi dapat dianggap sebagai bidang biologi, namun perkembangan sejarahnya sangat berkaitan dengan geologi dan usaha untuk memahami sejarah Bumi itu sendiri.
