Subject: Paleonet: 2º circular, Progress in Echinoderm Palaeobiology Conference, PRE-REGISTRATION OPEN!

Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to send you the second circular for the Progress in Echinoderm Palaeobiology Conference that we will celebrate next June in Spain. This conference will celebrate the career of our colleague and friend Dr. Andrew Smith, a world-renowned specialist in echinoderms who retired in late 2012.

The conference will be focused on Echinoderm Palaeobiology, a major area of interest for Andrew. Contributed presentations will review the current state of knowledge for a range of fossil groups, highlighting recent advances, but more importantly identifying areas of uncertainty and possible future research paths. In addition, there will be short workshops on Spanish fossil material and state-of-the-art analytical techniques for studying echinoderms (e.g. tomography, computer modelling and 3-D printing). Finally, there will be a field trip to visit several important Palaeozoic outcrops in northern Spain, which have yielded a wide variety of fossil echinoderms.

The format of the meeting including scientific sessions, interactive workshop and a relatively long field trip will give us the opportunity to discuss, at length and in an enjoyable atmosphere, different scientific topics. This is also an excellent opportunity for early career researchers to promote their research to an international audience of echinoderm experts.

Note that the second circular also includes a pre-registration form. We will appreciate very much if people interested attending the meeting fill the form and return to us before the end of October.

For general questions about the meeting or scientific sessions, please contact Samuel Zamora (s.zamora at igme.es<mailto:s.zamora at igme.es> or samuel at unizar.es<mailto:samuel at unizar.es>).

Sincerely yours,

The organizing committee,
