Geo or Bio?

[poulton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The placement of paleo in either geology or biology departments would seem to 
have some importance, considering anecdotal evidence that cross-posting paleo 
courses offered by geology departments in some universities in the biology 
departments has significantly increased enrolments and allowed for new 
staffing. Another factor would be the individual attitudes of managers in 
each department, suggesting that opportunities arise where there is a 
favorable climate.
