Talk:Timeline of paleontology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rusty Cashman 02:42, 25 October 2006 (UTC)This appears to be a rather disjointed mess. Seems it should be moved/renamed Timeline of fossil finds as that is the theme of the post 1750s entries. The earlier entries seem largely related to meteorolgy/climate along with a couple of odd - out of place entrie (Francis Bacon??). It seems to have little relation to geography (other than weather and climate). If more dates from the field of paleontology (besides fossil finds) were included then it could be renamed/moved to Timeline of paleontology - in which case the continental drift, plate tectonics, dating method, and extinction entries would fit better. I propose a move is in order. Comments? -Vsmith 02:59, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

I agree this is a mess. The meterology stuff should be stripped out and it should be called just time line of paleontology. A combined time line of GEOLOGY and paleontology might make sense but geography and paleontology does not.Rusty Cashman 02:42, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Done the deed - removed climatology stuff. Vsmith 01:41, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
