Hanna Basin Field Conference Application Deadline is April 15
Only Eight Days Left to Apply!

The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology Development Committee announces the SVP North American Summer Field Conference, August 5-7, 2008, in the Hanna and Carbon Basins of south-central Wyoming. The conference will address field-based geological documentation to paleobiological research.

The 2008 field conference will involve three day-trips (conducted from the town of Medicine Bow) to parts of the Hanna and Carbon Basins. These relatively tiny, Laramide basins in south-central parts of Wyoming have long been recognized for their astonishingly thick sections of marine and nonmarine, Upper Cretaceous and Paleocene strata.

This conference is co-sponsored by SVP and the Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Wyoming, and co-organized by Jay Lillegraven, Jaelyn Eberle, Pennilyn Higgins and Mark Clementz.

Do not miss this unique field study opportunity. Applications for participation must be submitted electronically to Annalisa Berta by April 15, 2008.

More information is available on the SVP Web site.
