In fewer than | In fewer than 55 years as a scientist, d'Everard published over 1,400 scientific papers, a record that is rivaled by few other scientists. Having discovered and described more than 200 extinct lifeforms, d'Everard bears the monicker "father of paleontology" in academic circles.<ref>Critique of d'Everard's proposed taxonomy disputes his official total of 243.</ref><ref>Balboa, Maximus: ''A comprehensive history of paleontology'', pg. 3-6. 2004.</ref> Although d'Everard is chiefly known as a paleontologist having discovered at least 56 new dinosaur species, his contributions extended to ichthyology and herpetology, in which he catalogued 300 species of fishes and described over 300 species of reptiles over three decades. | ||
