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 1833.

Dinosaurs

Newly named dinosaurs

Taxon	Novelty	Status	Author(s)	Age	Unit	Location	Notes	Images
Cystosaurus[2]	Gen. nov.	Nomen oblitum	Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire			France	Probably a teleosaurid crocodyliform in addition to being "forgotten."[3]
Hylaeosaurus[4]	Gen. et sp. nov.	Valid	Gideon Algernon Mantell	Early Cretaceous, 140–136 million years ago[5]	Tilgate Forest, Grinstead Clay Formation,[5] Westfalen[6]	England	Hylaeosaurus was named in 1833 by Mantell for most of a skeleton including an isolated tail. This material was then later described in more detail by Mantell and Alexander Gordon Melville in an 1849 publication entitled Additional Observations on the Osteology of the Iguanodon and Hylaeosaurus.[7]

Pterosaurs

New taxa

Name	Novelty	Status	Author(s)	Age	Unit	Location	Notes	Images
Gnathosaurus subulatus	Gen. et sp. nov.	Valid	Hermann von Meyer	Late Jurassic, 155–150 million years ago	Solnhofen Limestone[8]	Germany	A gnathosaurine ctenochasmatid. This is one of two species assigned to Gnathosaurus, the other being G. macrurus. Aurorazhdarcho is a potential junior synonym of Gnathosaurus subulatus.[9] Gnathosaurus as well as related genera such as Germanodactylus, Ctenochasma, and Pterodactylus all possessed large soft tissue crests. All four genera are from the Solnhofen Limestone, and share a common ancestor which, presumably, also had a crest.[8]
