Re: paleonet Good paleo lists for lurking students

[Judith Harris <harrisj@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The vertpaleo list is quite active. A lot of different subjects--all  
relating to vert paleo of course. Well we did have some anti-  
creationist/intelligent design for a while. I like it better than  
paleonet but then I am a vert paleontologist (and terrestrial  
paleoecologist). We also do have a few students posting asking about  
this and that and I think that is good. People on the list are good- 
humored.

Good luck to them.
