Paleonet: [External] 2nd call for abstracts LouElla Saul session

Thu Mar 10 21:38:44 UTC 2022

Thanks Lindsey, we should talk someday about possible ways I could give a talk on Siphonaria that would fit into your program and that could include you as a featured collaboration somehow.

Do you have a similar interest in hoof snails? I am trying to figure out one from the coast of Baja California Sur that is a very divergent lineage in its sequences. I think I already have the other species from Keen accounted for so I am not sure what this one is. It has curious overlapping hairy plates around the shell margin. I so far haven’t been able to make out even a horseshoe shaped muscles scar. The shell is quite thin. there are very few experts of this group that I know about to ask. Phylogenetically, it is even outside of Cheilea with respect to more normal hoof snails. I could send some images but I found it difficult to photograph so far. I think I have to take the one of three specimens whose body I removed and treat it with some Clorox a bit.

 SECOND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

FOSSIL MOLLUSCAN PAPERS IN MEMORY OF LOUELLA R. SAUL, 2022

Western Society of Malacologists, 55th annual meeting
Pasadena City College, Pasadena, CA
June 23rd-26th, 2022

       Abstracts and/or posters for the meeting session Fossil Molluscan Papers in Memory of LouElla R. Saul, 2022 are now being accepted as part of the 55th annual meeting of the Western Society of Malacologists to be held at Pasadena City College, Pasadena, California on Saturday, June 25th, 2022. LouElla was a leader in Cretaceous fossil molluscan research in the western United States, especially those groups from California and Baja California, México and her passing in June of 2021 has left a huge void. She generously shared her vast knowledge of paleontology with colleagues, students, professionals, and amateurs alike. In LouElla’s honor, all interested paleontologists and neontologists with an interest in fossil mollusks are invited to participate in this memorial session. Topics may include any local, regional, or worldwide fossil molluscan subject including (but not limited to) biostratigraphy, systematics, paleobiogeography, paleoclimatology, or paleoecology. There will also be a special presentation in her honor by Lindsey T. Groves (LACM) and Richard L. Squires (ex CSUN, LACMIP associate). This session will also be a great opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and friends who knew and worked with LouElla. However, please remember that knowing LouElla is not a prerequisite for participation or attendance in this session.
           Talks will be limited to ten minutes plus five minutes for Q&A. Please submit abstract (with length limited to 350 words including title and author[s]) in Times New Roman, 12 pt. as a .doc or .docx. Abstracts should include:
 *Title: Concise and descriptive, bold font left justified.
*Author(s): Last name first, followed by initials, presenting author underlined, plain font, left justified.
*Author(s) affiliation: Include full postal address and email for all authors, italics, left justified.
*Main body: Use standard scientific English, avoid contractions, plain font, left justified.
*References (if included): Author(s), year, title, journal (not abbreviated), volume, inclusive pages.

Posters, which will be exhibited during the session, should not be larger than 40 x 30 inches.
           The closing date for abstracts is Sunday, May 1, 2022, at 6 PM.  Formatted abstracts should be sent to Lindsey T. Groves lgroves at nhm.org<mailto:lgroves at nhm.org> and note in the subject line “WSM abstract memorial session [your last name].”  WSM membership is not required for presenting an abstract and/or poster but attending authors must register for the meeting (details upcoming). Please feel free to share this announcement with colleagues, students, and anyone interested in fossil mollusk research.
           Details on registration for the WSM 55th Annual Meeting and abstract submissions on other topics outside this session will soon be provided via the WSM website (http://westernsocietymalacology.org/<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.com%2Fv3%2F__http%3A%2F%2Fwesternsocietymalacology.org%2F__%3B!!GF3VTAzAMGBM8A!nq-Xr5gI7SoIMQQ_f3YCcvKEyUZRzgegKS3zjxeYHQrv5xeFQJG_N-zK7Tx6xu3pWs2c%24&data=04%7C01%7Cdeernisse%40fullerton.edu%7C3be7313e4c5b4a90d09808da008ba1e8%7C82c0b871335f4b5c9ed0a4a23565a79b%7C0%7C0%7C637822896976686184%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=LAJs%2FxfIPd8dpNg0W3hjDKb9MHqkkdRz4ne9%2Fy9dWFQ%3D&reserved=0>). Please direct general meeting questions to WSM president Mike Vendrasco (mvendrasco at pasadena.edu<mailto:mvendrasco at pasadena.edu>).
          As of this posting, the WSM is planning on a live meeting in 2022. If this happens, Pasadena City College will require proof of vaccinations for those wishing to participate and attend. However, if Covid-19 infection, hospitalization, and death rates increase significantly, there could be a switch to a fully online meeting. Please stay tuned for more information. On behalf of the WSM, I hope to see you there.

Aloha,

Lindsey
