In 1855, Planté discovered the first fossils of the prehistoric [[flightless bird]] ''[[Gastornis|Gastornis parisiensis]]'' (named after him) near [[Paris]]. This gigantic animal was a very close relative of the famous diatrymas<!-- not capitalized, no italics - see Gastronis article --> of North America. At that time, Planté was at the start of his academic career, serving as a teaching assistant to [[A. E. Becquerel]] (father of [[Nobel laureate]] [[Henri Becquerel]]).<ref>Prévost (1855)</ref> This early discovery—although it created considerable excitement in 1855—was soon to be overshadowed by Planté's subsequent discoveries.
