'''''Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution''''' is an advanced textbook on [[vertebrate paleontology]] by [[Robert L. Carroll]], published by [[WH Freeman]]. It provides a very detailed technical account of various groups of living and fossil vertebrates.
The book, which is wrtten in the style of [[Alfred Sherwood Romer]]'s ''[[Vertebrate Paleontology (Romer)|Vertebrate Paleontology]]'', presents the most recent overall coverage of this subject. At the rear of the book is a 53-page [[scientific classification|Classification]] list which lists every [[genus]] known at the time of publication, along with locality and stratigraphic range.
''Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution'' appeared in print in [[1988]], just before the [[cladistic]] revolution, and so incorporates a number of [[paraphyletic]] taxa that are no longer recognised.
