PS Short Course: Correction (posted for Woody Henry)

A couple of days ago, I sent you an announcement for the Paleo Society Short
Course "Siliceous Microfossils" to be given in New Orleans.  We need to
change one item in that announcement, please.  The announcement that I
posted with you on 30 August is copied below, with the appropriate change to
the "Cost" section.  There is no charge to attend the Short Course, but the
cost of the Short Course Notes (highly recommended) designed to accompany
the course is $15.00.  Copies will be available for purchase at the door.

Sorry for the change.  Thanks.

Woody

                   THE PALEONTOLOGICAL SOCIETY SHORT COURSE

                            "SILICEOUS MICROFOSSILS"

                                  Organized by:

          Charles A. Blome, Patricia A. Whalen, and Katherine M. Reed

                   GSA Convention at New Orleans, Louisiana

DATE/TIME:          Sunday 05 November 1995, 08:00 am to 05:00 pm.

PLACE:              Ernest N. Morial Convention Center -- Ashland Room

ENROLLMENT:         Session to hold 292 people, first-come, first-served.

COST:               No charge (Short Course Notes available for $15.00).

CONTACT:            Charles D. Blome, U.S. Geological Survey, P.O. Box

CONTENT/FOCUS:  This short course will highlight recent advances in studies
of siliceous microfossils and their role in biostratigraphy, sequence
stratigraphy, and paleogeographic and paleoenvironmental reconstructions.
Contributions of many of these fossil groups in developing current climate
models will also be discussed.  The course will cover chrysophytes,
ebridians and endoskeletal dinoflagellates, silicoflagellates, freshwater
diatoms, Cretaceous and Cenozoic marine diatoms, and Paleozoic through
Cenozoic radiolarians and sponge spicules.

Course content is of interest to biologists, geologists, paleontologists, or
anyone who needs to be better informed about current concepts in siliceous
microfossil paleontology.  Like other Paleontological Society short courses,
this session is especially appropriate for those who teach general courses
in paleontology, historical geology, and history of life.  The speakers are
prominent experts in their respective fields, and their presentations will
include recent discoveries, controversies, and ideas about the origin,
Evolution, and utility of these siliceous microfossils.
