Palaeo-oology is the study of fossil and modern eggs.
Palaeo-oology has successfully been developing in many different scientific fields since 1868 Wilhelm von Nathusius described the first microstructures from modern eggshells; such as environmental and conservational issues, paleobiodiversity, biomineralization, poultry industry, and systematics.
However, Palaeo-oology advances are very sparse and disseminated in specialised areas. As a result many palaeo-oological discoveries from different fields that would complement each other, remain disconnected. Indeed, it could be said that Palaeo-oology has become a science on its own!
The Palaeo-oological Discussion Group provides a common space for palaeo-oologists from different backgrounds to discuss palaeoological issues. Also, it will provide general information and publications (when possible) that could be consulted at anytime.
Membership is only open to professional palaeo-oologists and students.
If you are interested you would be very welcome to join this group.
