Ichnology: The Study of Tracks and Traces part of Integrating Research and Education:Advances in Paleontology
A content page on ichnology within an educational paleontology module, covering the study of fossilized tracks, traces, and trace fossils—including footprints, burrows, and trackways—with resources on ichnofacies, dinosaur tracks, and teaching activities using trace fossils to interpret ancient animal behavior and ecosystems.
Paleontology in the News part of Integrating Research and Education:Advances in Paleontology
Content page curating recent paleontological discoveries and media coverage, highlighting breakthroughs like *Tyrannosaurus rex* soft tissue and gender identification, feathered dinosaurs from China, *Tiktaalik*, *Homo floresiensis*, origins of life research, and fossil collection ethics, serving as an educational resource within the "Advances in Paleontology" module.
Paleontology Ethics part of Integrating Research and Education:Advances in Paleontology
Content page detailing paleontology ethics, covering legal and ethical fossil collecting guidelines, permitting requirements on public and private lands, professional codes of conduct like the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology’s ethics statement, and consequences of illegal collection, aimed at both amateur and professional paleontologists.
Morphology part of Integrating Research and Education:Advances in Paleontology
This educational webpage from the SERC Pedagogic Service focuses on morphology in paleontology, covering bone anatomy, muscle reconstruction, and soft-tissue inference, while providing teaching resources, lab exercises, and profiles of prominent researchers like Tim Rowe and Lawrence Witmer who utilize 3D imaging and phylogenetic bracketing in fossil analysis.
Taphonomy: The Study of Preservation part of Integrating Research and Education:Advances in Paleontology
Educational webpage on taphonomy in paleontology, authored by Ewan Wolff, covering fossil preservation processes, normal vs. exceptional preservation (e.g., soft tissue, biomolecules), taphonomic analysis methods, and teaching resources including case studies, experiments, and links to Lagerstätten and fossil site examples.
General Paleontology Resources part of Integrating Research and Education:Advances in Paleontology
A content page from the "Integrating Research and Education" project offering curated general paleontology resources, including links to key societies (e.g., Society of Vertebrate Paleontology), educational non-profits (e.g., Project Exploration), foundational websites (e.g., Paleontology Portal), and teaching activities on fossilization, morphology, and taphonomy from the Journal of Geoscience Education.
Advances in Paleontology part of Integrating Research and Education:Advances in Paleontology
A module page on paleontology education exploring morphology, taphonomy, ichnology, biomolecules, and ethics, emphasizing modern research methods, preservation science, and interdisciplinary approaches to studying ancient life through fossils and evolutionary patterns.
