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 fossils, tracks, burrows, cast-off parts, fossilised feces, palynomorphs. Because humans have encountered fossils for millennia, paleontology has a long history both before and after becoming formalized as a science and this article records significant discoveries and events related to paleontology that occurred or were published in the year 1905.

William Edmund Cutler first began collecting fossils, choosing the mouth of Kneehills Creek in Alberta as a prospecting site, according to paleontologist Darren Tanke, Cutler was motivated by commercial gain. Charles H. Sternberg and his sons began working under a contract with the Geological Survey of Canada, the Calgary Public Museum of Alberta, Canada moved to occupy a single floor of the citys Memorial Park Library Building. Data courtesy of George Olshevskys dinosaur genera list, the Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was published. This novel was the first major portrayal of dinosaurs in the 20th century. It was also the first work of fiction to depict dinosaurs as surviving somewhere in a remote wilderness refuge, Conan Doyle depicted the novels dinosaurs as cold blooded and stupid. Nevertheless, Sarjeant also noted that while Conan Doyle underestimated pterosaur flying abilities, he anticipated the later scientific conclusion that they were social animals

April, William Edmund Cutler prospected in Dinosaur Provincial Park and his work was underwritten by the Calgary Syndicate for Prehistoric Research, a group of local philanthropist businessmen, and a small local museum, the Calgary Public Museum, which no long exists. Summer, The American Museum of Natural History dispatched a team of hunters to Dinosaur Provincial Park. Cutler joined the expedition but was asked to leave only a few months of involvement. Cutler excavated a juvenile Grypsaurus now catalogued by the Canadian Museum of Nature as CMN8784, the site of the excavation has since been designated quarry 252. Winter, Cutler partly prepared the young Gryposaurus specimen, possibly in Calgary while working on dinosaurs for Euston Sisely. A US Geological Survey crew headed by Eugene Stebinger and a US National Museum crew headed by Charles Gilmore worked together to excavate the first dinosaur discovery of the Two Medicine Formation, data courtesy of George Olshevskys dinosaur genera list
