Not through the UI (that I am aware of). There may be some way it is possible through SP Designer, or you could save the list as a template, download the .stp and rename to .cab, extract the schematic.xml and get the CAML from here to make your content type in visual studio (pretty long-winded) > 2) If not, is there a way to copy a list content type and make others > with the same base fields? Not so much the list content type itself, but is possible to make a template of the list (which would include the list content type) and re-use it. If it was me, I would look at creating the site content type, then migrating your existing list data over to a list using the new site content type. Site CTs enables you to classify the same type of data throughout a site collection, which lets you do a lot of useful things like refining in search results, applying workflows, applying info mgmt policies, rolling up data of that type etc. There are a lot of data migration products around that can help in migrating your existing data to you new list, or it is a fairly simple power shell script.
