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. ...

The Host Committee of the 73rd Annual Meeting is delighted to welcome all participants to the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology’s 2013 meeting in Los Angeles, California. The meeting will take place at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel, close to the heart of downtown Los Angeles that in recent years has experienced a dramatic resurgence with exciting new dining and cultural opportunities. Your host committee members represent institutions from the Greater Los Angeles region and their research interests encompass many facets of the discipline of vertebrate paleontology. This is the third time that the meeting will be hosted by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and we are particularly thrilled that the Society will return to Los Angeles in the year that the museum celebrates both its centenary and a hundred years of excavations at the La Brea Tar Pits—a National Natural Landmark and one of the world’s richest Ice Age fossil sites. ...
