Paleontology or palaeontology is the study of prehistoriclife forms on Earth through the examination of plant and animal fossils.[1] This includes the study of body fossils, tracks (ichnites), burrows, cast-off parts, fossilised feces (coprolites), palynomorphs and chemical residues. Because humans have encountered fossils for millennia, paleontology has a long history both before and after becoming formalized as a science. This article records significant discoveries and events related to paleontology that occurred or were published in the year 2002.
In October, a partial Mesadacylus wing was discovered in the Kingsview Quarry of Colorado.[71] This find marks the first time that a Morrisonpterosaur has been found at more than one site in the formation.[71]
A gorgonopsian. New genus for "Gorgonognathus" maximus von Huene, 1950.
