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]
