Paleontology is the study of past organisms, that is life that is now extinct. Of all kinds! Paleontologists study extinct organisms via fossils. Organismal remains that are mineralized or lithified (have become hardened into stone) are studied and observed in hopes that the fossilized remains can tell us something about that organism - bone morphology, distinguishing features or structures, diet, reproduction, and paleoenvironment to name a few. There are many areas of concentration associated with Paleontology. Those who study ancient microorganisms, invertebrates, vertebrates, plants, humans, etc... all work under the field of paleontology. It's not just dinosaurs, my friends!
