📢 New Co-OP Server!

We’ve started a collaboration with a Polish-language palaeontology server! 🇵🇱

discord.gg/E5sJeVGSnG

This opens PCO for sharing knowledge and ideas. We’re looking forward to joint discussions, projects, and expanding our network of paleo-enthusiasts and researchers.

Slowly growing in numbers.

Join us on Discord! Become an author of a paleo article, keep up with the latest published papers or stick to the server to have fun!
