Best Answer

Yes. Since the plate tectonics move, what was once underwater could now be land.(ex. Grand Canyon)Also, the same backwards, something that used to be land, could be underwater now(like parts of Florida might).

Why is it important for paleontologists be experts in both anatomy and geology?

Paleontologists need to have a working knowledge of geology to recognise not only which rock is best to search for fossils but also to recognise fossils from the surrounding rock. They need to have a working knowledge of anatomy (biology) to recognise what part of the animal or plant they are looking at.

How many paleontologists are there today?

We do not precisely know how many paleontologists are in the World to-day. The number depends upon categories that you consider : professional paleontologists in institutional structures such as universities, national (federal) agencies, research centres, ...; professional paleontologists in private companies (oil companies, quarrying companies, ...); amateur paleontologists; technicians (preparators); full time vs part time paleontologists; including Ph.D. students and postdocs or not ... In France, we have ca. 6000 full time professional geologists (excluding Ph.D. students, secondary and intermediate school teachers, amateurs), and among them ca. 100 full time professional paleontologists, that is a ratio paleo/geo = 1/60 or 0.016 or 1.6%. In the USA, there are 120,000 to 200,000 geologists (see the American Geological Institute or AGI). If we apply the ratio of 1.6%, it gives 1920 to 3200 paleontologists. Extrapolating these two numbers worldwide may give something as 30.000 to 50.000 paleontologists.
