Re: paleonet Ichnology Newsletter 26: last call



Andy

My contact information has not changed.

 A graduate student, Craig Sipes, is currently doing an experimental study on underprints in sand, and comparing them with fossil trackways in the Coconino Sandstone.  He is layering colored sand in containers under various conditions, making tracks in the sand, then consolidating the sand and sectioning it to study the track characteristics in each sand layer.

 Dear  Friends of Ichnology,With your help, Alfred Uchman and I are planning to get the Newsletter back on a winter schedule this year. Accordingly, the final deadline for contributions of manuscripts, current activities, changes of address, etc. is JANUARY 10, 2003. There is NO CHARGE for including your information in the Newsletter: In effect, it's free publicity for your research. Subscriptions, as usual, are handled by Prof. Alfred Uchman (fred@ing.uj.edu.pl).Here's how YOU can be involved! 1. Has your contact information (address, phone, email, website) changed in the past year? Please let us know!2. Could you please write up a short (1-2 paragraphs), informal summary of your current ichno-activities? ("Current" = 2003-04.) Also write about your students' current projects, or if you like, ask them to contribute separately. Do you want to send graphics? They are welcome, but please test them on a photocopier first.3. Please also send your ichno-related bibliography, especially recent material. We work for reprints! We will keyword them for the annual instalment of the Bibliographia Ichnologica.4. We can also use articles of a topical nature, that is, current news, announcements of new books and meetings, reports and reviews of conferences, book and media reviews; park and museum reviews. Also interviews of ichnologists; websites; reminiscences and history; art, cartoons, humor, stories; honors and new jobs; beautiful or instructive or intriguing pictures of traces; location of type specimens. Material on ALL aspects of ichnology is appropriate: bioturbation and bioerosion; invertebrate, vertebrate, and plant; modern, fossil, and archaeologic; geologic and biologic. Anything ichnologic that is NEWS. If you have an idea you'd like to pursue, please contact Alfred (fred@ing.uj.edu.pl) or me (arindsberg@gsa.state.al.us). Thanks!Alas, we are still stuck in the Paper Epoch but are moving gradually into the Electrozoic. Authors of INews articles, past and present, will be supplied with pdf files of their work.One ichnology!AndrewAndrew K. RindsbergGeological Survey of AlabamaP.O.
