If this was an example of a falsified prediction among many successful predictions, then yeah, you could call that science. But that's not the case. Paleontology is better considered as history rather than science.

Some people don't think psychology should be seen as science, but this doesn't mean rigorous scientific studies have never been conducted in psychology. Either way, what you're saying isn't true. Paleontologists do make predictions based on scientific theories, so not sure why you see paleontology such a way. Perhaps your argument is more about whether true experiments are conducted in paleontology, not whether paleontology is science.
