Each year the Paleontological Society calls for nominations for its
Strimple Award for outstanding achievement by amateurs.  An amateur, for
the purposes of the award, is someone who does not make her or his living
full-time from paleontology.

The award may be given for a record of outstanding research and
publication, the making of outstanding collections, the safeguarding of
unique paleontological resources through varied public service approaches,
teaching activities that focus on paleontology, collaborative efforts with
others working in paleontology, and similar accomplishments.

Anyone, including other amateurs, may make a nomination.  Nominators do not
have to be members of the Paleontological Society.

The nomination should include:  1.  the full name, address and phone number
(email too if they have it); 2.  a certification by the nominator of the
amateur status of the nominee; 3.  a description of the nominee's
achievements in paleontology not to exceed three pages; 4.  any number (not
restricted to five as published in Priscum, Sept. 1995) of supporting
letters and other documentation which will be bound and presented to the
awardee.

These should be sent by April 15, 1996, to the Chair of the Strimple Award
