SYMPOSIUM: PALYNOSTRATIGRAPHY AT LOW LATITUDES 2nd Circular and Call for Abstracts Porlamar, Isla de Margarita, Venezuela; Tues. 18th November, 1997 This symposium will be held under the auspices of the Venezuelan Geological Society (SVG), during the joint VIII Venezuelan Geological Congress and First Latin American Sedimentological Congress, at the Margarita Hilton Hotel, November 16-19, 1997. Palynostratigraphy at Low Latitudes is being organized by Geoffrey Norris (University of Toronto, Canada) and Laurent de Verteuil (Petrotrin, Trinidad) and commemorates the 50th anniversary of Industrial Palynology in Venezuela. Submissions for oral presentations on any aspect of palynological research from low paleolatitude basins are actively solicited. Studies that consider the ecologic and taxonomic structure of modern or fossil low latitude plant\algal communities are particularly encouraged. We are also seeking papers that show innovative use of taphonomic and palynofacies data within a sequence stratigraphic context. Abstracts should not exceed 250 words and should be sent directly to Laurent de Verteuil. Contributors are asked to submit their abstracts by May 1st 1997. In view of the timing constraints, abstracts should be submitted by FAX (809 658-3074) or email (devert@petrotrin.com) only. Senior authors will be notified of acceptance of their paper by May 30th, 1997. Papers may also be submitted as extended abstracts with a maximum length of 8 single spaced pages, including text, figures and references. The deadline for extended abstracts is June 30th, 1997. All abstracts will be published in the congress transactions.
