Paleontology or palaeontology is the study of prehistoriclife formsonEarth 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 1967.
Bronto the Dinosaur was published. Its storyline was similar to another 1960s work aimed at children,Pataud, le petit dinosaure. The book was marketed as "educationally sound, paleontologist William A. S. Sarjeant said the book "cannot justly make that claim" on the basis of several scientific improbabilities.[12]
