The relationship between the current paleontology and medical-based technology

Abstract

    Medical-based technology is broadly used for many evolutionary prospects in biostratigraphy and developmental geology. Currently, the paleontological investigations are potentially depended on these medical-based approaches. Fundamentally, these efficient medical investigations and analytic tools play a crucial role to reveal the ecological niche, life habits, adaptations and of course behaviors in extinct taxa. In this work, I present a summarized explanation on the important role of these medical-based investigations and analytic technologies in the current paleontology and fossil analysis. This study was conducted by means of comparative analysis on relevant published literature to provide a brief, more supported description on the subject. Paleontological investigations use the microscopic analyses such as professional histology to reveal many evolutionary aspects and even ontogenies in the history of life on Earth. Additionally, the computerized osteological anatomy is being numerously applied as a potential analytic tool to study paleontological characteristics of extinct vertebrate organisms, helping to envisage the taxonomic and phylogenetic features of these ancient biological components. Paleopathology in special, has already established as one of the most applicable technological research tools in current paleontology. Thus, it is essential to improve the association of medical-based technology with current biostratigraphy to reveal more detailed paleontological mysteries.
