Re: paleonet Good paleo lists for lurking students



Try the Trilobites2 list.  These people are really active, and range from newbeys to university profs, and everyone in between.  This list can give your students a great experience with people who are really interested in trilobites.  The discussions are sometimes quite technical, but everyone is approachable.  The photo galleries are superb, and the links section is enough to keep your students busy for a long time.  I give the group a 5-star rating.

Subject: paleonet Good paleo lists for lurking students

Folks,

I have a small paleontology class (6 students).  I want them to get a
feel for some good paleo lists.  I have asked them all to join this
list, but I would like them also to try another list.  The problem is I
want a list that is active on topic and one that might interest
undergrads.  I am asking them to lurk (not post).

I know of a number of lists, but a lot of them like the two paleobotany
lists I am on are quite dead.  I am not sure I have received a message
from the British paleobotany list in more than a year.  I suggested the
dinosaur list.  I think that one is quite active and would be
interesting, but what about the vertebrate paleo list fairly acitve?  I
have heard about that one but have never joined.
