1803 in paleontology

Paleontology or palaeontology is the study of prehistoric life forms on Earth through the examination of plant and animal fossils.[1] This includes the study of body fossils, tracks (ichnites), burrows, cast-off parts, fossilised feces (coprolites), palynomorphs and chemical residues. Because humans have encountered fossils for millennia, paleontology has a long history both before and after becoming formalized as a science. This article records significant discoveries and events related to paleontology that occurred or were published in the year 1803.

gollark: All the I/O stuff in CC is provided to user code via a bunch of tables of functions like `fs` in the global scope.
gollark: Specifically², function environments mostly.
gollark: Process management stuff got enhanced isolation after a spate of bugs relating to that, so it's *probably* okay now, but there are still problems, inevitably.
gollark: Also, some stuff was deliberately not isolated to the extent it should have been for security - mostly the process management, but possibly some filesystem IO.
gollark: Specifically, it relies on quirkiness in some aspects of Lua to work, but the quirks have more nested quirks attached which have problems.
