Professor [[Barons of Yonderre|Baron]] '''Phillipe Edmond d'Everard''' <small>[[Order of the Kestrel|OC]]</small> (October 22, 1865 – February 2, 1938) was a highly influential [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] paleontologist of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He became world-famous after excavating and describing the first recognized remains of the [[Caphirosaurus]] in 1900 in [[Belactrum]], [[Caphiria]], elevating the world of paleontology from the world of academia to the public eye. His further discoveries and categorisation of more than 200 species of extinct lifeforms has earned him the moniker "[[History of paleontology|Father of paleontology]]", complimenting [[Thibaut d'Avignon]]'s moniker "Grandfather of paleontology". | Professor [[Barons of Yonderre|Baron]] '''Phillipe Edmond d'Everard''' <small>[[Order of the Kestrel|OC]]</small> (October 22, 1865 – February 2, 1938) was a highly influential [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] paleontologist of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

d'Everard was a prodigious writer, with 1,400 papers published over his lifetime. A lifelong and highly dedicated field worker, d'Everard died suddenly from complications associated with {{wpl|pneumonia}} 72 years old on February 2, 1938 in [[Lariana]], [[Talionia]], while leading a paleontological expedition. His proposal for the origin of mammalian molars is notable among his theoretical contributions. "d'Everard's rule", however, the hypothesis that mammalian lineages gradually grow larger over geologic time, while named after him, is "neither explicit nor implicit" in his work.<ref>Fürster, Johann: ''Mammalian derivation of the Permian period'', pg. 11-14. 1999.</ref> | d'Everard was a prodigious writer, with 1,400 papers published over his lifetime.
