Taphonomy Theme Session

["Anne Louise Raymond" <alr4725@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anne Raymond (Tx. A&M Univ.) and Sally Walker (Univ. Georgia) invite ALL 
taphonomists (marine and terrestrial invertebrate, vertebrate, microfossil and 
plant) to contribute abstracts to the GSA Theme Session:  Experimental 
Taphonomy:  Deep Sea to Terrestrial Realms, to be held at the Annual GSA meeting
in New Orleans, Nov. 6 - 9, 1995.

Experimental taphonomy seeks to understand how organisms and their traces become
part of the geological record.  This theme session will focus on new 
observational and model results from shelf, slope and coastal environments of 
the Caribbean and Gulf Coast as well as other areas.  It will encompass the 
fields of micropaleontology, vertebrate and invertebrate paleontology and 
paleobotany.

Abstracts are due JULY 12.  If you have questions, please contact Anne Raymond  
(Dept. of Geology and Geophysics, Texas A&M University, College Station TX 
77845, email: alr4725@geopsun.tamu.edu).  If you need an abstract form, Anne 
Raymond can send one.  See you in New Orleans.
