Re: Your chance to name a Paleontology Society!

Maybe one of these will fit your org.

Here are a few that came to mind.

"Paleocurrents"  (past and present as you requested) a great name for a 
club and a newsletter.  I don't know if it is already taken somewhere 
for a "club" but there is a paleocurrents.com website affiliated with 
Denver Museum of Natural Science.  This does not preclude you using the 
name as a .org or a net site but I might check with DMNS first.

"Paleosciencia"  (from the latin "ancient" and latin "to know" ) which 
comes up nowhere in google or alta vista searches and is free for the 
taking as a .com or otherwise (probably)

"Paleofutura"  (speaks for itself)

"Intelligent Redesigners" for those thinking the ancient was always 
turning into something different.

"Huttonians"  (not well understood by the laymen though but certainly 
promotes the present and the past ie, uniformatarianism)

"Later Day Antiquarianists"  or "LDA" (literally past science) perhaps 
reaching a bit.
