-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The main emphasis of the meeting is the evolution, ontogeny, and
paleoecology of vertebrates from the Late Cretaceous and Paleogene
(Paleocene, Eocene, Oligocene) of North America. However, presentations on
relevant non-vertebrate fields such as stratigraphy, geochronology,
palynology, paleobotany, and invertebrate paleontology will also be
welcome, keeping in mind the audience of mainly vertebrate paleontologists.
Presentations on other time periods or geographic regions should clearly
explain their relevance for vertebrate researchers in the Cretaceous and
Paleogene of the Western Interior (e.g. intercontinental migration or
variation, with Asian fauna, etc.).
