CALL FOR PAPERS A research symposium celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the establishment of the Petrified Forest National Park will be held in Holbrook, Arizona from May 17th through 19th 2006. The symposium will include both invited and volunteered platform and poster presentations as well as field trips to classic Triassic localities in east central Arizona. Paleontologists and geologists throughout the world are invited to attend the conference and present papers about their research on any aspects of Triassic paleontology and geology worldwide. The papers may be given as either platform or poster presentations. Extended (two pages and one illustration) abstracts will be accepted through February 10th, 2006. Please indicate if you would prefer the platform of poster format for your presentation. Information regarding registration will be announced in the near future. The extended abstracts will be published as a supplement to a research volume covering Upper Triassic paleontological research from Petrified Forest National Park that will be published as a Museum of Northern Arizona Bulletin and distributed to attendees at the time of the symposium. Petrified Forest National Park was established in 1906 to protect petrified wood and other fossils from the Upper Triassic Chinle Formation in northeastern Arizona. These fossils have been researched for over 150 years resulting in the publication of hundreds of papers, forming a cornerstone for Late Triassic paleontological studies in North America.
