Thought some of you might be interested in knowing that the sci.paleo
group has passed. It is not up yet, but there will be a notice when it
comes up. I am passing along a note to that effect that appeared on the
dinosaur list.

CHARTER
The newsgroup sci.bio.paleontology is open to discussion on
scientific topics concerning paleontology. All paleontological
topics are welcome, such as discussions of extinct animals and
plants, their physiology and phylogeny, fossils, paleoecology,
extinction events, and recent discoveries, but all discussion of
creation vs. evolution should take place in talk.origins, not
sci.bio.paleontology.
