Re: paleonet Welcome to The Palaeo-oological Discussion Group



Xavier,

Just a thought, but it might be worth noting that for many years we had "palaeo-oceanography" and its derivatives, until the streamlined word paleoceanography (or palaeoceanography) gained acceptance.  For the sake of brevity, could we likewise lose an "o" to give Paleoology -- which would be pronounced "pale-oölogy"?

I think we should include the three different variables: Palaeoology, Paleooology, and Paleooölogy
