Shouldn't that be "paleontology nerd?"
- angiosperm 3y agoPaleontology used to be a subspecialty of geology, for a long time after they proved fossils had once been animals. Which the geologists had to do.

- HankB99 3y agoWhere is footnote 1? I just looked up the authors of the article from their links at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/363885520_Seals_whales_and_the_Cenozoic_decline_of_nautiloid_cephalopods https://www.researchgate.net/publication/363885520_Seals_wha... and none mentions geology, though they did mention paleobiology, paleontology and fossils. What did I miss?
- nearbuy 3y agoThe footnotes for the article are in the first comment. The author put a humorous footnote about being pedantic.
- jjtheblunt 3y agoAnd, in doing so, was pedantic!
