[John E Repetski]

Colleagues,

CALL FOR PAPERS 

Abstract deadline: 19 January, 2010
 
The abstract deadline for the joint North-central/South-central GSA 
meeting in Branson, Missouri is rapidly approaching. 
There are a number of paleontology and related sessions planned for this 
promising meeting, including:

Sedimentary geology of the North American craton and its southern margin 
(co-sponsored by SEPM, Great Lakes Section);
Geology of the Ozark Plateaus;
Current Conodont Research: a Pander Society Session in Honor of Raymond 
Ethington, Tom Thompson, and Jim Miller (co-sponsored by, and an official 
meeting and workshop of The Pander Society);
Ichnofossils: The marriage of sedimentology and ecology (co-sponsored by 
The Paleontological Society);
Paleoecology: Variation in fossil communities through space and time 
(co-sponsored by The Paleontological Society);
Mid-Continent paleontology;
Pennsylvanian and Permian cyclothems of Midcontinent North America;
Developments in Early Paleozoic stratigraphy in the U.S. Midcontinent;
Devonian and Mississippian strata of the Midcontinent North America: 
Sequence stratigraphy, paleontology, and hydrocarbon potential (Gas 
shales, Carbonates, Cherts);

The meeting website (
http://geosociety.org/sectdiv/Northc/2010mtg/index.htm ) lists 38 theme 
sessions and symposia, 11 field trips, 6 workshops, a public policy forum, 
luncheons, receptions, exhibits, and opportunities for students, so you 
will see that there is much more than only our sessions that will be of 
interest to most of us.  To provide ample time for social networking, two 
free social events are scheduled which (thanks to generous sponsorships 
received so far), will feature fantastic, local bluegrass and dulcimer 
music. Please help us advertise this unique ?super-sectional? venue, and 
join us in the effort to make this a productive, fun, and memorable 
meeting.


Abstracts may be submitted at:
