Paleonet: 12th International Symposium on the Ordovician System

[Stephen Leslie]

The 12th International Symposium on the Ordovician System (
http://www.jmu.edu/2015ISOS/) will be hosted on the campus of James Madison
University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, June 8-11, 2015.



The scientific sessions in Harrisonburg will be preceded and followed by
geological excursions to study the Ordovician successions of Appalachian
Mountains of the Eastern US., field excursions are also planned for the
Ordovician carbonate and siliciclastic deposits of Oklahoma (site of the
Katian GSSP), and  for the spectacular succession of dark shale in Idaho.
The 5 field trips are described in more detail here on the web site
(*http://www.jmu.edu/2015ISOS/secondary-page1.shtml
<http://www.jmu.edu/2015ISOS/secondary-page1.shtml>**).  Register for field
trips soon as spaces are limited.  March 7th is the deadline for regular
registration.*



Themes for the 12th ISOS include Ordovician climate, isotope stratigraphy,
biostratigraphy, regional stratigraphy, paleoecology and paleobiogeography,
and we welcome contributions on all aspects of Ordovician geology.



We look forward to seeing you in Virginia!
