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 1907.

Archosaurs

Wieland claims to have found stegosaur gastroliths.[4]
Brown argues that Wieland's alleged stegosaur gastroliths were "not associated with the stegosaur bones in question."[5]
Possible hadrosaur gastroliths documented.[5]
