Tribute to Charles Darwin and Bernissart Iguanodons: New perspectives on Vertebrate Evolution and Early Cretaceous Ecosystems



European Association of Vertebrate Palaeontologists Extraordinary Meeting. Tribute to Charles Darwin and Bernissart Iguanodons: New perspectives on Vertebrate Evolution and Early Cretaceous Ecosystems.
Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels, February 9-14, 2009


February 12, 2009 is a key-date for European palaeontologists. Indeed, we are to celebrate the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin, the Father of the Evolution Theory, and also the official opening of a new Evolution Gallery in the capital of Europe. Moreover, February 2009 also corresponds to the closure of the `Bernissart Iguanodons' Year', marking the 130th anniversary of the discovery of the jewels of the Brussels Natural Sciences Museum.

In order to celebrate together these important events, the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences and the European Association of Vertebrate Palaeontologists have the pleasure to invite you to an Extraordinary Meeting gathering vertebrate palaeontologists and also worldwide specialists of Early Cretaceous life and terrestrial environments.
