I'm an adviser to the Oxford English Dictionary, and have forwarded the 
message to the appropriate editor. I'd guess they'd standardize it to 
palaeoology if the word and its cognates continue to be used. The first 
occurrence may be

Estudios Geologicos 60, no.3-6 (2004) p. 179: "Most sites contain bony 
remains, but there are also paleoichnological and paleoological sites, with 
dinosaur and other reptilian tracks and eggshells."

I like this word.    You should nominate it for the Oxford English
Dictionary.   But you spelled it with only 2 "o" earlier in the
email.   Which is correct.   I hope it's the 3 "o" version, although
a purist would insist on a hyphen, I'd guess, between no. 1 and no. 2.
