  4. Types of Paleontology • Micro paleontologist • microscopic fossils • Vertebrate and Invertebrate Paleontologists • primitive fishes to mammals • mollusks and echinoderms • Taphonomist • processes of decay, preservation and how fossils are formed • Paleoecologist • ecology and climate of the past • Ichnologist • fossil tracks • Paleobotanist • fossil plants • Palynologist • living and fossilized pollen and spores • Paleoanthropologist • prehistoric human
