Palaeos
Palaeos.com is a web site on biology, paleontology, phylogeny and geology and which covers the history of Earth. The site is well respected and has been used as a reference by professional paleontologists such as Michael J. Benton, the professor of vertebrate palaeontology in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol.[1] It is frequently cited in Science Online.[2][3][4]
Palaeos.com was started by Toby White and Alan Kazlev;[5] the pair were later joined by Chris Taylor, Mikko Haaramo of the Department of Geology at the University of Helsinki, and Chris Clowes. It features professional-level, yet readable articles about:[6]
- Palaeontology, evolution and systematics
- Geochronology, earth systems and time scale
- Diversity of life and ecology
The site's developers have started a wiki, Palaeos.org, which uses MediaWiki software to provide conventional voluntary membership.[5]
Some pages use images from websites run by David Peters,[7] whose works sometimes considered as highly unreliable.[8]
