This work aimed to present an importance of paleontology for a general population through a non-formal approach, that is, use outside the common teaching area (classrooms), through workshops in an online medium through the Google Meet platform, besides being able to use on the subject, also to evaluate the degree of knowledge of the public, through the performance of pre-presentation questionnaires, it was also possible to collect data from the participants on average age between 20 and 60 years and schooling that varied from graduates of the elementary school to graduate students, demonstrating that paleontology is a very limited area of knowledge. In addition, the evaluation also counted on their participation while conducting the workshop through questions asked, these questions are extremely important for the improvement of new workshops, being able to focus on the subjects that generated more doubts in the participants, further enriching the exchange of information knowledge [resumo fornecido pelo autor].
