[James Nebelsick <epine01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am organizing a symposium forthcoming 8th International Coral
Reef Symposium in Panama City, Panama, from the 24-29th of June 1996. The 
symposium is entitled "Taphonomy of past and present reef organisms" and 
I hope to include a wide range of current investigations concerning different 
taphonomic aspects of both past and present reef environments. 
While I have had some response from geologist or palaeontolgist working 
on recent reefs, it would be nice to have some response from biologist 
working on, for example, incrustation, predation, bioerosion, or any other 
aspects of taphonomy affecting organisms related to the reef environment.
Investigations from geologist on fossil reefs are also welcome.
If you are interested please contact me.

Yours Sincerely,
James Nebelsick
