Re: database of paleontologists

PaleoNet maintains access to an on-line version of Rex Doescher's catalogue
of surface mail addresses, phone, fax, and e-mail addresses for
paleontologists worldwide. These catalogues can be downloaded from the
PaleoNet FTP Site or accessed directly from the PaleoNet Pages. I find
myself using Rex's list at least once a week. It's always a timesaver and
on several occasions it's proved to be real lifesaver. Mine!

The PaleoNet Pages also maintain links to on-line paleo. databases on the
PaleoNet Places To Go Page. If anyone puts up a new database or runs across
a database we haven't linked to please let me know its address.
