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. ...

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. ...

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]
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]
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. ...

The BFV Online provides interactive access to the SVP's Bibliography of Fossil Vertebrates series. Using the BFV Online , users can specify a search criterion, and receive a formatted list of matching literature references. Queries are formed like taxon = 'Tyrannosaurus'. Detailed instructions are available for writing queries. Complicated Boolean queries and pattern-matching are supported. All BFV references are copyrighted material belonging to the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Cnidaria, especially the Anthrozoa, are among the most important reef builders. There life cycle (metagenesis) and morphology (two tissue layers) differs significantly for other animals. This web page provides an insight into the biology and ecology of the cnidaria, and their subtaxa. [Editorial staff vifabio]
Digital Morphology, part of the National Science Foundation Digital Libraries Initiative, develops and serves unique 2D and 3D visualizations of the internal and external structure of living and extinct vertebrates, and a growing number of 'invertebrates'. The Digital Morphology library contains nearly a terabyte of imagery of natural history specimens that are important to education and central to ongoing cutting-edge research efforts. The Digital Morphology library site now serves imagery, optimized for Web delivery, for almost 300 specimens contributed by more than 80 collaborating researchers from the world's premiere natural history museums and universities. ...

Subfossil remains of midge larvae (Nematocera: Chironomidae, Ceratopogonidae & Chaoboridae) in sediments of freshwater lakes are being increasingly valued as indicators of limnological and climatic changes. This private web site supplies an identification guide to the larvae of Chironomidae (non-biting midges) combined with a lot of images of the head capsules. ...
