paleonet NCGSA Symposium

["Danita Sue Brandt" <brandt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

North-Central Section, Paleontological Society Symposium, 2003:

Evidence and Evolutionary Consequences of Predation in the Fossil Record

Abstracts are invited for the 2003 NC Paleo Society Symposium, to be held in
conjunction with the NC GSA meetings in Kansas City, Missouri on March 23-25.

Symposium description:  Fossil evidence for predator/prey interaction is known
for many different organisms in a variety of physical environments throughout
the Phanerozoic.  In this symposium we will review this evidence and discuss
questions bearing on the possible evolutionary consequences of this biotic
interaction.

The symposium will provide a forum for following up on the Paleo Society's short
course, "The Fossil Record of Predation" offered at the annual GSA meeting in
October.

Abstract deadline is Dec 10 2002. Abstracts should be sent to GSA
electronically via their web site http://www.geosociety.org/.  An abstract
submission fee of $10 will be charged.  If authors cannot submit electronically
they are asked to contact Nancy Carlson ncarlson@geosociety.org (303 357 1061)
to make arrangements.
