Fossils & Evolution

Les fossiles et l’évolution

En découvrant, en préservant et en étudiant des fossiles des quatre coins du monde, nos paléontologues apprennent comment les formes de vie ont évolué. Mieux nous saisissons les lois de l’évolution et son histoire, mieux nous comprenons que la place des êtres humains dans le réseau du vivant. Par la recherche, le ROM peut reconstruire d’anciens écosystèmes et retracer les grandes tendances de la biodiversité.

Does the Museum appraise or authenticate objects?

In conformity with national and international museum standards, it is contrary to the practice of the ROM to offer financial appraisals or evaluations of objects to the general public, to give evaluations, assist in the disposal of private property or to express opinions regarding the merits of appraisal firms. The ROM accepts no legal or other responsibility for any opinion that may be expressed about an object presented to a curator for identification.

Palaeontology is about more than just Tyrannosaurus rex, and the Woolly Mammoth. Join us as we explore the world BEFORE the dinosaurs when life first evolved! From Anomalocaris, the original beast of the sea, to the thriving and diverse arthropods that broke to the surface, learn how life first developed deep in our oceans and expanded to thrive in every environment on Earth.

Découverte d’un important chaînon manquant dans les schistes de Burgess

Des chercheurs repoussent l’âge d’une classe d’animaux de 200 millions d’années

Les schistes de Burgess, qui cachent des fossiles vieux de 505 millions d’années dans le parc national Yoho, au Canada, sont à nouveau le théâtre d’une découverte scientifique importante. Il s’agit cette fois du fossile d’une étrange créature en forme de phallus.

Fossils & Evolution

By discovering, preserving and studying fossils from around the world, ROM palaeontologists learn how life evolved over time. The more we learn about this deep evolutionary heritage, the more we can appreciate how humans form part of the Earth’s complex fabric of life. ROM research also enables us to reconstruct past ecosystems and large-scale patterns of biodiversity through deep history. This understanding of how ancient organisms both large and small responded to biological and environmental changes contributes to our understanding of climate change and biodiversity loss today.
