   Since I've gotten several e-mails about this, I'm also posting this to
the list.

   I maintain The Dinosaur Mailing List Encyclopaedia at
http://www.infinet.com/~jpoling/

   This virtual encyclopaedia includes the following volumes:

   Volume I, Dictionary:  Important palentological terms defined, maintained
by myself.

   Volume II, Dinosaur Genera List:  A listing of all genera assigned to the
Dinosauria, maintained by George Olshevsky and available on two other sites.

   Volume III, "Type" Definitions:  Definitions of the "type" terms used in
paleontology, originally posted to the list by George Olshevsky.

   Volume IV, Geologic Ages of the Mesozoic:  A listing of all the
geological time periods during the age of the Dinosaurs, created by myself.

   Volume V, Geologic Ages of Earth History:  A listing off all the
geological time periods from the beginning to present, created by myself.

   Soon, if Michael Sternberg was able to work some magic, I hope to add a
sixth volume that lists the english translations of all the Dinosaur genera.

   FYI, this "Dinosaur Mailing List Encyclopaedia" is not sanctioned by the
Dinosaur Mailing List.  I simply have created it on the List's behalf,
whether they like it or not.  Perhaps its time to talk about an official
sanction.....
