Paleo/Sediment Conference in Chicago this spring...

["Desert Yeti" <desert_yetix@hotmail.com>]

Hi all,
I thought I'd bring it to your collective attentions that a few collegues 
and I are thinking of putting together a paleontology and sedimentary 
geology conference at either the University of Chicago or the Field Museum 
this coming spring (2003).  Details will be forth-coming, but a variety of 
research (invert and vert paleo, taphonomy, depositional environments, and 
sedimentary geology) will be requested for submission.  The meeting will 
likely be small (on the scale of Regional GSA meetings) and field trips to 
the Silurian Reef complexes and perhaps some other key sites in the area 
will be offered (again, details will be forth-coming).  Essentially, we are 
shooting for a more informal, but still scientifically "high-impact" forum 
to share research with collegues and fraternize, but without the 
increasingly prohibitive registration fees of SVP, GSA, and AAPG.  If you're 
interested in learning more about this conference, submitting an abstract, 
or have any suggestions for theme-sessions, feel free to contact me at my 
e-mail address.  Thanks.

L8R,
Dr. Anton Wroblewski
