The Laboratory of Arthropods, Palaeontological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences is dedicated to research on to fossil insects (Palaeoentomology). Fossil insect studies in Russia started just before the establishment of the Palaeontological Institute. They were initiated by a renowned entomologist A.V. Martynov (1879-1938), who became a founder of the Laboratory of Entomology in this Institute. During the years of its existence, the Laboratory of Arthropods accumulated the most extensive collection of fossil insects and arachnids comprising approximately 200,000 specimens and being one of the best collections in the World. ...

Ever wonder how people figured out there used to be such things as dinosaurs? Curious about how scientists learned to reconstruct fossil skeletons? The knowledge we take for granted today was slow in coming, and along the way, scientists and scholars had some weird ideas. This Web site shows some of their mistakes, provides a timeline of events, gives biographies of a few of the people who have gotten us where we are today, and lists resources you can use to learn more. ...

The BFV Online provides interactive access to the SVP's Bibliography of Fossil Vertebrates series. Using the BFV Online , users can specify a search criterion, and receive a formatted list of matching literature references. Queries are formed like taxon = 'Tyrannosaurus'. Detailed instructions are available for writing queries. Complicated Boolean queries and pattern-matching are supported. All BFV references are copyrighted material belonging to the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Paleobiology Database ... has been organized and operated by a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional, international group of paleobiological researchers. Its purpose is to provide global, collection-based occurrence and taxonomic data for marine and terrestrial animals and plants of any geological age, as well as web-based software for statistical analysis of the data. The project's wider, long-term goal is to encourage collaborative efforts to answer large-scale paleobiological questions by developing a useful database infrastructure and bringing together large data sets. ...

We have gathered many different resources into this single entry "portal" to paleontological information on the Internet. [Information of the supplier]
Digital Morphology, part of the National Science Foundation Digital Libraries Initiative, develops and serves unique 2D and 3D visualizations of the internal and external structure of living and extinct vertebrates, and a growing number of 'invertebrates'. The Digital Morphology library contains nearly a terabyte of imagery of natural history specimens that are important to education and central to ongoing cutting-edge research efforts. The Digital Morphology library site now serves imagery, optimized for Web delivery, for almost 300 specimens contributed by more than 80 collaborating researchers from the world's premiere natural history museums and universities. ...

Welcome to the Jurassic Reef Park - A virtual trip to the reefs of the Jurassic Period. This web article is 'archaic', regarding the History of the WWW. It has been launched in 1995, the english version in early 1996. The JRP has been very successful till today. This is why we keep both contents and technique unchanged, for 'historic reasons', so as to say. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
Trilobites are an extinct group of marine arthropods which existed during the Paleozoic era, from the Cambrian to the Permian period about 540-245 million years ago. In Sweden there are trilobite fossils and other Paleozoic fossils in sedimentary rocks from Cambrian, Ordovician and Silurian within the following districts: Skåne, Öland, Gotland, Västergötland, Östergötland, Närke, Siljansringen and Jämtland. ...

Trilobites are the most diverse group of extinct animals preserved in the fossil record. Nine orders of trilobites are recognized, into which 15,000+ species are placed. Learn more about trilobite morphology, anatomy, ecology, behavior, reproduction, and development, and how they relate to trilobite origins, evolution, and classification. Explore trilobite biostratigraphy, paleobiogeography, persistence across geological time, and their ultimate extinction. View galleries of trilobite images from the web, examine fact sheets, pictorial guides, and an identification key for each order, refer to a family listing, a genus listing, or consult a trilobite glossary and bibliography, tour world famous trilobite localities, explore links to other web resources on trilobites, and review books on trilobites, including an exclusive hardcopy pictorial adaptation of this website. ...
