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 1830.

Archosauromorphs

Newly named basal archosauromorphs

Taxon Novelty Status Author(s) Age Unit Location Notes Images
Protorosaurus[2] Gen. nov. Valid Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer
mya
 Pirambola Formation  Germany,  UK One of the most primitive
Prolacertiformes, but now a new genus shows that they were in fact not closely related.[3]

Dinosaurs

Newly named dinosaurs

Streptospondylus[2] Gen. nov. Nomen dubium Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer Oxfordian, 161 mya Vaches Noires, Chipping Norton  France The remains of Streptospondylus were the first dinosaurian remains to be described (by Cuvier in 1808), however, their identification was thought to be teleosaurid or metriorhynchid.[5]

Crocodylomorphs

Newly named crocodylomorphs

Taxon Novelty Status Author(s) Age Unit Location Notes Images
Aeolodon[2] Gen. nov. Valid Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian)
Solnhofen Formation
  Germany A
teleosaurid
.

Macrospondylus[2] Gen. nov.
Junior synonym
 Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer Toarcian to Berriasian, 183–142 mya
Oxford Clay Formation, Kimmeridge Clay, Holzmaden, Monheim, Hondelage
  England,  France,  Germany,   Switzerland,  Madagascar Now considered a junior synonym of
monophyletic group when S. pictaviensis and S. megarhinus are excluded.[6]

Metriorhynchus[2] Gen. nov. Valid Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer Callovian to Kimmeridgian, 167–155 mya Oxford Clay Formation, Kimmeridge Clay, La Voulte-sur-Rhône (lagerstätte)  England,  France,  Germany,   Switzerland Many species have been referred to Metriorhynchus since 1830, yet recent studies show that only three species are valid and referrable to the genus, the type M. geoffroyii, M. superciliosus, and M. hastifer.[7]

Fish

Newly named fish

Taxon Novelty Status Author(s) Age Unit Location Notes Images
Lepidosaurus[2]
 Gen. nov.
Junior synonym
 Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer Toarcian, 150 mya[8] Whitby, Holzmaden, Dobbertin, La Caine[8]  England,  France,  Germany This genus is now considered a junior synonym of Lepidotes. Although previously known from species ranging between 205 and 100 mya, a 2012 study found only species from the Late Jurassic to be in the genus, and reassigned the rest.[8]
