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.

Cystosaurus[2] Gen. nov. Nomen oblitum Saint-Hilaire

 France

Probably a teleosaurid crocodyliform in addition to being "forgotten."[3]
Hylaeosaurus armatus[4] Gen. et sp. nov. Valid Mantell Early Cretaceous[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.[7]

Pterosaurs

New taxa

Name Novelty Status Author(s) Age Unit Location Notes Images
Gnathosaurus subulatus Gen. et sp. nov. Valid von Meyer Tithonian 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]
