What is PaleoNet?

PaleoNet is a system of listservers, www pages, and ftp sites designed to enhance electronic communication among paleontologists. While primarily designed as a resource for paleontological professionals and graduate students, PaleoNet welcomes input and participation from all persons interested in the study of ancient life.

The PaleoNet Gallery

So much of paleontology has to do with visualizing extinct plants and animals it's only fitting that PaleoNet provide space for artists and illustrators specializing in the representation of fossil materials to display samples of their work; especially insofar as the electronic medium is well-suited to this subject matter. If you would like to contribute materials to the PaleoNet Gallery please contact N.MacLeod. Meanwhile, enjoy the featured current (and past) exhibitions.

Back to the Past

by Enrico Bonino

Recently (late 2008) I participated in the creation of a museum devoted entirely to trilobites, the Back to the Past Museum in Cancun, Mexico. Many dioramas and thematic posters shown at this museum represent the ancient marine environments where these arthropods, and their relatives, lived.

In the illustrations I've selected for the PaleoNet exhibit I included some of the dioramas that I’ve created of internationally known fossil lagerstätten. These reconstructions focus mainly  on Paleozoic marine environments, though some “temporal jumps” are also present to more modern (Eocene) ecological habitats
