A collection of misguided attempts to explain natural history, including honest and dishonest mistakes about dinosaurs, mammals, sea monsters and prehistoric beasts. Includes a timeline of important events, biographies of early scientists and artists, and references.
This gallery presents images of fossils from the research collections in the Division of Invertebrate Paleontology. We have attempted to showcase display quality individuals and spectacularly preserved specimens from our type and systematic collections. We have also included a sample of faunas from various fossil bonanzas (lagerstatten) represented in the Peabody collections.
Dinosauria On-Line is intended to give the reader a broader exposure to dinosaur science. I′ve tried to bring together discussions about the topics that are hot among dinosaur enthusiasts today. This allows the reader not only to see a subject from many points of view, but allows him to see what others think about ideas and questions that the reader has wondered about but not been able to pose to knowledgeable people.
The mission of the University of California Museum of Paleontology is to investigate and promote the understanding of the history of life and the diversity of the Earth′s biota through research and education.
