PRI's Database currently encompases the Type and Figured Specimen collection, which is the tenth largest of its kind in the country (USA). The collections data entry and the development of this database were supported by an individual donor and the National Science Foundation through their Biological Research Collections program (DBI 0447298). ...

This website tries to summarize what we know about these first ten million years of the age of mammals. The Paleocene is a crucial time in the history mammals. Unfortunately, mammal fossils from this epoch are either scarce or entirely unknown in many parts of the world. Thus we can only speculate how the fauna of whole continents looked after the extinction of dinosaurs. Even where fossils occur, most species are only known from their characteristic teeth, and skeletons are only known for a few forms. Nevertheless, knowledge of Paleocene mammals is steadily increasing. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Annual Meeting 2013 of the Paläontologische Gesellschaft will be held together with the Palaeontological Society of China. The meeting takes place from September 23rd to 27th at the Faculty of Geosciences and Geography at the Georg-August University Göttingen. The topic of the meeting is: Palaeobiology and Geobiology of Fossil Lagerstätten through Earth History. The Paläontologische Gesellschaft is very happy that this meeting could be organised together with Chinese colleagues. We expect many guests from China, and accordingly the offical language of the meeting will be English. ... [Information of the supplier]

The program of the meeting has been designed to accommodate a rich cultural social program along with an outstanding and stimulating scientific experience. The scientific program is determined by three main areas: dental morphology, paleodontology and forensic dentistry. ... [Information of the supplier]
EJIP (Encuentro de Jóvenes Investigadores en Paleontología, Treffen der Jungen Forscher der Paläontologie) ist eine jährliche Konferenz, die von und für junge Wissenschaftler aus verschiedenen Bereichen der Paläontologie veranstaltet wird. Dieser Kongress hat inzwischen das zehnjährige Bestehen überschritten und hat sich zu einem Treffen mit großem Umfang zwischen jungen Paläontologen hauptsächlich aus Spanien und Portugal entwickelt, aber auch aus anderen europäischen Ländern, wie Italien oder Frankreich sowie Ländern außerhalb von Europa wie beispielsweise Mexiko, Brasilien oder Marokko. Junge Wissenschaftler sind sich bewusst, dass Wissenschaft nicht individualistisch vorangetrieben werden kann und diese Art von Veranstaltungen erlauben den konstanten Austausch von Ideen und Informationen. EJIP fördert die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Forschern und Institutionen mit dem Ziel, Synergien zu vereinen, um das komplette Potential der jeweiligen Forschung zu entfalten. Im Jahr 2015 findet das 13. Treffen der EJIP in Cercedilla (Madrid) statt. ... [Information des Anbieters, übersetzt und verändert]
The 75th anniversary meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology will be held in Dallas, Texas, USA. The great state of Texas is fortunate to encompass a broad spectrum of geological regions, providing a diverse range of paleontological exploration and discoveries within the state. From the classic Permian redbeds of north-central Texas, to the fossil-rich Late Triassic exposures of the Texas Panhandle, Cretaceous exposures from the Big Bend region of western Texas stretching across the state beyond Dallas and Austin, through the broad expanse of Cenozoic coastal plain deposits in the south and east, and a rich Pleistocene record all across the state, Texas provides a remarkable breadth of paleontological opportunities. Even within a two hour’s drive from Dallas one can find Permian, Early Cretaceous, Late Cretaceous, Paleogene, and Pleistocene vertebrate fossil-bearing sites. This remarkable diversity of paleontological resources also means it is difficult to identify any one, ubiquitous fossil or iconic fossil taxon as representative of the area. The 2015 SVP meeting logo therefore embraces the fossil richness of the entire state of Texas, using the silhouette of the state emblazoned with the colors and styling of the distinctive Lone Star flag of Texas. ...

Die 87. Jahrestagung der Paläontologischen Gesellschaft wird vom 11. - 15. September 2016 in Dresden stattfinden. Ausrichter ist Senckenberg Naturhistorische Sammlungen, Dresden. Die Tagung steht unter dem Motto Fossils: key to evolution, stratigraphy and palaeo-environments, denn Fossilien geben entscheidende Informationen über die erdgeschichtlichen Veränderungen unseres Planeten. Diese betreffen insbesondere den Verlauf der Evolution der Organismen, die Entwicklung der Lebensgemeinschaften sowie die Veränderung der Lebensräume in Zeit und Raum. Fossilien (Körper-, Spuren und Chemofossilien) sind somit unser Schlüssel für das Verständnis der erdgeschichtlichen Vergangenheit, verlässliche Zeugen und wichtige Archive des vergangenen globalen Wandels sowie hervorragende Werkzeuge in der Paläoumwelt-Rekonstruktion. Der vergangene globale Wandel kann aber auch Hinweise für die Vorhersage möglicher Zukunftsszenarien unseres Planeten Erde geben (the past is the key to future global change). Ziel der Tagung ist es, Wissenschaftler/innen aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen der Geo- und Biowissenschaften zusammenzubringen, um möglichst viele verschiedene Aspekte des fossil records zu betrachten und zu interpretieren. Eine wichtige Rolle dabei soll auch die Anwendung von Fossilien als wertvolle Werkzeuge in der Stratigraphie (z.B. Biostratigraphie) und Paläo-Umweltrekonstruktion (z.B. Mikrofaziesanalyse) sein. ...

Each year, vertebrate paleontologists, preparators, writers, artists and enthusiasts convene to share the latest research, attend workshops and field trips, and meet new fossil fans as well as old friends. It’s the world’s foremost forum on vertebrate paleontology: the Annual Meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. It’s usually referred to simply as “SVP”. The 77th Annual Meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology will be held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The SVP 2017 logo is reconstruction of UALVP 52613, a juvenile Chasmosaurus belli found at Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta in 2010, drawn by Alberta paleoartist Michael Skrepnick. The description of this specimen was published in 2016 in JVP: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02724634.2015.1048348. Welcome to the Stampede City! Located where the prairies meet the mountains, Calgary has long been the starting point for expeditions into North America’s natural history riches. With several UNESCO World Heritage sites nearby, including Dinosaur Provincial Park and the Burgess Shale, we are confident you will find appealing vertebrate fossils, no matter your interest. There are numerous museums and sites of interest both within the city limits or a short drive from Calgary. The word renowned Royal Tyrrell Museum is an hour and a half drive away, and Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump, another UNESCO World Heritage site, is similarly nearby. Three hours away are the Walcott Quarry to the west in Yoho National Park (Field, BC) and Dinosaur Provincial Park to the east (Brooks, AB). Also 3 hours’ drive away is the collection at the Laboratory of Vertebrate Paleontology at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. For the adventurous, consider visits to the Philip Currie Museum of Palaeontology in Grand Prairie, AB, and the Peace River Palaeontological Research Centre in Tumbler Ridge, BC. Between all of these points are some of the world’s richest fossil deposits from Cretaceous and Cenozoic times. We have located this year’s Annual Meeting in the heart of downtown, and amenities for all tastes and budgets are available via a short stroll down the Stephen Ave. pedestrian mall. Please venture out and enjoy our famous hospitality! ... [Information of the supplier]
