Palaeos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Palaeos.com and it's intended follower, Palaeos.org is a knowledge base oriented towards biology, paleontology, cladistics and geology to provide a pretty detailed vision of the history of Earth. The site palaeos.com isn't organized like a wiki, but the follower Palaeos.org uses conventional MediaWiki, to provide conventional voluntary membership.
Palaeos.com was started by Toby White and Alan Kazlev to reorganize Toby White's Vertebrate Notes, where to soon joined Chris Taylor, Mikko Haaramo and Chris Clowes. It features professional-level articles about the topics of interests, among others:
- Palaeontology, evolution and systematics
- Geochronology, earth systems and time scale
- Diversity of life and ecology
Recently the Palaeos.com site lost momentum of development, for the usual complexity explosion of to much added data, and it was decided that the major part of its content was to be moved to Palaeos.org.
