Dear Colleague,


As a contribution to the aims of IGCP Project 381 (South Atlantic Mesozoic
Correlations) we are planning thematic volumes with collections of papers
addressing specific issues relevant to the project. It is intended that
these thematic sets be published as special issues of internationally
disseminated journals.

   We propose the following volumes, to be published by the end of 1997:

1.   MESOZOIC BIOGEOGRAPHIC PATTERNS IN THE  SOUTH ATLANTIC
      Editors:  Eduardo A. M. Koutsoukos, Peter Bengtson and Ivan de Klasz
   (Potential publisher: Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology)

2.   MESOZOIC PETROLEUM SOURCE ROCKS  OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC
      Editors: Márcio R. Mello, Eduardo A. M. Koutsoukos, et alii
   (Potential publisher: American Association of Petroleum Geologists)

   If you are interested in submitting a paper, you are invited to send an
abstract in English with a maximum of 2000 words on four letter-sized (A4)
pages. Illustrations such as maps, charts and tables, may be included for
clarity. Papers will be selected for the thematic volumes by the  editorial
committee after analysis of the abstracts.

   Preliminary deadline for submission of abstracts: 31 December 1995

   Send your abstract, by letter, fax or electronic mail, to E. Koutsoukos,
P. Bengtson or the SAMC Secretariat.
