Palaeos.com is a web site on

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]
