Paleobiology (sometimes spelled palaeobiology) is a growing and comparatively new discipline which combines the methods and findings of the natural sciencebiology with the methods and findings of the earth sciencepaleontology. It is occasionally referred to as "geobiology".
An investigator in this field is known as a paleobiologist.
The founder or "father" of modern paleobiology was Baron Franz Nopcsa (1877 to 1933), a Hungarian scientist trained at the University of Vienna. He initially termed the discipline "paleophysiology."
However, credit for coining the word paleobiology itself should go to Professor Charles Schuchert. He proposed the term in 1904 so as to initiate "a broad new science" joining "traditional paleontology with the evidence and insights of geology and isotopic chemistry."

An analysis of hundreds of fossilized skulls and jaws reveals that Mesozoic sea monsters – plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, and mosasaurs – burst onto the scene and rapidly dominated. The findings are published in Paleobiology this week. Reptiles were top predators in marine ecosystems during the Mesozoic Era, which is made up of the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. The era lasted from 252 million to 66 million years ago ... ....
