Sapeornis is a monotypic genus of avialan dinosaurs which lived during the early Cretaceous period. Sapeornis contains only one species, Sapeornis chaoyangensis.
Paleontology or palaeontology is the study of prehistoric life forms on Earth through the examination of plant and animal fossils. 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 2004.

The Yixian Formation is a geological formation in Jinzhou, Liaoning, People's Republic of China, that spans about 1.6 million years during the early Cretaceous period. It is known for its fossils, listed below.
The Xinlong Formation is an Early Cretaceous geologic formation in Guangxi, southern China.
The Haifanggou Formation, also known as the Jiulongshan Formation, is a fossil-bearing rock deposit located near Daohugou village of Ningcheng County, in Inner Mongolia, northeastern China.
Manobiomorpha is an extinct genus of flea beetles described from the late Eocene Rovno amber of Ukraine. It was named by Konstantin Nadein and Evgeny Perkovsky in 2010, and the type species is Manobiomorpha eocenica.
Psyllototus is an extinct genus of flea beetles described from the late Eocene Rovno amber of Ukraine, and from the Baltic amber of Russia and Denmark. It was named by Konstantin Nadein and Evgeny Perkovsky in 2010, and the type species is Psyllototus progenitor. In 2016, a newly described extant flea beetle genus from Bolivia, Chanealtica, was found to be most similar to Psyllototus, based on the characters available for observation.
Paleophaedon is an extinct genus of chrysomeline leaf beetle described from the late Eocene Rovno amber of Ukraine. It was named by Konstantin Nadein and Evgeny Perkovsky in 2010, and the type species is Paleophaedon minutus.
Jerseyempheria is an extinct genus of empheriid psocodean which existed in what is now New Jersey during the Cretaceous period. It was named by Dany Azar, André Nel and Julian F. Petrulevicius in 2010, and the type species is Jerseyempheria grimaldii.
Tyulkinia is an extinct genus of camptoneuritid insects which existed in what is now Russia during the lower Permian period. It was named by Danil S. Aristov, Sergey Yu. Storozhenko, Cui Yingying in 2010, and the type species is Tyulkinia bashkuevi. It takes its name from Tyulkino, Russia.
Crepidodera decolorata is an extinct species of flea beetles described from the late Eocene Rovno amber of Ukraine.
Raptorapax is an extinct genus of rhachiberothid which existed in what is now Lebanon during the early Cretaceous period. It was named by Julian F. Petrulevicius, Dany Azar and André Nel in 2010, and the type species is Raptorapax terribilissima. It was found in Lebanese amber.

Sociala is an extinct genus of cockroach which existed in what is now France during the early Cretaceous period. It was named by Peter Vršanský in 2010, and the type species is Sociala perlucida.
Cretevania is an extinct genus of Evaniidae, which lived in what is now China, Burma, England, Lebanon, Mongolia, Russia and Spain during the Cretaceous period. the genus was described by Rasnitsyn in 1975, and the type species is Cretevania minor.
Chresmoda is an extinct genus of insects within the family Chresmodidae.
The year 2010 in Archosaur paleontology was eventful. Archosaurs include the only living dinosaur group — birds — and the reptile crocodilians, plus all extinct dinosaurs, extinct crocodilian relatives, and pterosaurs. Archosaur palaeontology is the scientific study of those animals, especially as they existed before the Holocene Epoch began about 11,700 years ago. The year 2010 in paleontology included various significant developments regarding archosaurs.
