CALL FOR PAPERS
WESTERN SOCIETY OF MALACOLOGISTS
ANNUAL MEETING JUNE 13-17, 1999
California State University, Fullerton
The 32nd annual meeting of the Western Society of Malacologists will
be held at California State University, Fullerton. A symposium entitled
"Current research on west coast molluscan paleontology" is scheduled for
Wednesday morning, June 16 that will highlight molluscan paleontological
research of California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Baja
California organized by Richard L. Squires (Calif. St. Univ., Northridge)
and Lindsey T. Groves (Nat. Hist. Mus. L.A. Co.). A field excursion to
collect and observe Late Cretaceous (Turonian through Campanian) mollusks in
Silverado Canyon, Santa Ana Mountains, will follow the session and lunch break.
An application to present papers and/or posters should be made
as-soon-as-possible and abstracts must be received no later than April 15
(or sooner if possible). Contributed papers should be limited to 15 minutes
with 5 minutes allotted for questions and/or discussion. Submitted abstracts
should be no longer than 250 words and single spaced. Posters should not
exceed 120 cm by 240 cm (approx. 4 ft. by 7.75 ft.). Abstracts of papers and
posters will be published in the WSM Annual Report.
As this will be the first WSM session devoted entirely to fossil
mollusks since 1989, plan to be a part of this useful contribution to west
coast molluscan paleontololgy.
