Палеонтология или палеонтология - это изучение доисторических форм жизни на Земле путем изучения окаменелостей растений и животных . [1] Это включает изучение окаменелостей тела, следов ( ихнитов ), нор , выброшенных частей, окаменелых фекалий ( копролитов ), палиноморф и химических остатков . Поскольку люди встречались с окаменелостями на протяжении тысячелетий, палеонтология имеет долгую историю как до, так и после того, как стала официально признанной наукой.. В этой статье описаны важные открытия и события, связанные с палеонтологией, которые произошли или были опубликованы в 2015 году.

Non-avian dinosaurs[edit]
Research[edit]
- A study of phylogenetic relationships of sauropod dinosaurs belonging to the family Diplodocidae and the taxonomic revision of the family is published by Tschopp, Mateus and Benson (2015); the authors propose to reestablish Brontosaurus as a genus distinct from Apatosaurus and to transfer Dinheirosaurus lourinhanensis to the genus Supersaurus.[219][220]
- Additional information on the anatomy of the holotype specimen of the rebbachisaurid sauropod Tataouinea hannibalis, including description of newly discovered fossil material of this specimen, and study of its phylogenetic relationships is published by Fanti et al. (2015).[221]
- A reevaluation of the estimated body mass of Dreadnoughtus schrani is published by Bates et al. (2015).[222]
- A study of phylogenetic relationships of ornithischian dinosaurs traditionally referred to as ‘basal ornithopods’ or ‘hypsilophodontids’ is published by Boyd (2015).[223]
- Carpenter & Lamanna (2015) reinterpret the ornithopod braincase from the Morrison Formation of the Carnegie Quarry at Dinosaur National Monument (Utah), formerly assigned to Uteodon aphanoecetes, as actually belonging to Dryosaurus cf. D. altus. The authors consider genera Uteodon and Cumnoria to be junior synonyms of Camptosaurus, and transfer the species Cumnoria prestwichii and Uteodon aphanoecetes to the genus Camptosaurus.[224]
