About
Earth History Written in Stone
Paleon is designed as an independent educational resource for people interested in fossils, paleontology, prehistoric life and geology.
Why fossils matter
Fossils provide direct evidence that life and environments changed over immense periods of time.
Why geology matters
Rock layers help place fossil discoveries into environmental and chronological context.
Why field documentation matters
A specimen without location and stratigraphic information loses much of its scientific value.
