“Finally, their sediments contain enormous quantities of geologic and paleontologic information concerning past environments.”

“Biostratigraphy or paleontologic stratigraphy is based on fossil evidence in the rock layers.”

“Two key paleontologic markers of this lineage are pelves compatible with bipedality and braincase size.”

“Second, there are many stratigraphical and palaeontological similarities in the Palaeogene successions of the Hampshire and London basins.”

“We found no palaeontological evidence for marine conditions in the Falklands Permian succession.”

“It has now been accepted in the palaeontological world that Africa is the cradle of mankind.”

“As an extinct animal, the quagga is well qualified to act as a tour guide for a paleontological museum.”

“At this time, because the main taxonomic criteria were skeletal, there was no discrepancy between zoological and paleontological classifications.”

“A third instance is that paleontological evidence seemed to push the antiquity of life back to the earliest Archaean times.”
