Abstract

When somebody thinks about the history and trajectory of the vertebrate paleontology in Argentina, the images of Florentino Ameghino and many other world-renowned paleontologists come to mind. In this work, the stories of those technicians who were working side by sideand supporting these great paleontologists are presented, since the time of Carlos Ameghino (F. Ameghino’s brother) to the new generations, who approached the different institutions to be trained and work in this noble profession.
