We are very pleased to invite you all to Geomuseum Faxe in Denmark for the 9th Symposium on Fossil Decapod Crustaceans. This conference is co-organized by the Geomuseum Faxe and the University of Alabama (Department of Museum Research and Collections & Alabama Museum of Natural History). Although the conference is focused on decapod crustaceans, research on other crustaceans is also welcome. The conference consists of an icebreaker followed by 2 conference days full of talks and posters and 2 field trip days.
More...Taphos 2025 represents the 10th International Meeting on Taphonomy and continues the tradition of taphonomic meetings that have been regularly held in Spain since 1990 (Madrid 1990, Zaragoza 1995, Valencia 2002, Barcelona 2005, Granada 2008), and then in Tübingen (2011), Ferrara (2014), Vienna (2017), and Madrid (2022).
More...The University of Edinburgh is delighted to host the Second International Symposium on Palaeo-bioinspiration (PALBINS 2), 25th-27th June in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.
More...We are delighted to invite you to a regional meeting of IGCP735 (Rocks and the Rise of Ordovician Life) in the beautiful Mid Wales spa town of Llandrindod Wells, on the edge of the Ordovician Builth–Llandrindod Inlier. The Inlier is a key area of historical geology that represents an ancient volcanic island system, and has been studied by Sir Roderick Murchison, John William Salter, Gertrude Elles, O.T. Jones, Alwyn Williams, Peter Sheldon, and many others. The first trilobites were described from this area by Edward Llwyd in 1699.
More...The theme of co-evolution is broad and cross-disciplinary, and we welcome work that spans the fields of (in no particular order) palaeontology, (bio)geochemistry, sedimentology, geobiology, palaeoclimate, geodynamics, tectonics, astrobiology and any scientific work that aims to understand how life has shaped the global environment and/or how the global environment has shaped life on Earth, or how it may do so on planets in general. We welcome equally work from the field, the laboratory or from numerical simulation.
More...The 4th Crossing the Paleontological-Ecological Gap meeting and 3rd Conservation Paleobiology symposium will be held jointly, from July 27 to August 1, 2025, at the University of Zurich. The CPEG meeting aims to bring palaeontologists and ecologists together to share ideas, data and methods in research areas that are studied by both, but typically independently (e.g., community and population ecology, food web dynamics, extinction mechanisms and conservation).
More...International Congress on Palaeontological Heritage IX [ICPH-9] is an event dedicated to the palaeontological and palaeoarchaeological heritage to communicate and exchange of novelties in the topics linked with the preservation and enhancement of palaeontological and archaeological heritage. It will be a meeting place between national and international researchers, socio-economic operators and activists, as well as activists in the legislation of the palaeontological heritage. It is also an opportunity for MSc. and PhD.
More...The Messel Pit, at about 47 million years in age, is arguably the best-preserved ecosystem from the last sustained greenhouse phase of the Earth’s climate. The taxonomic breadth (with 1409 documented taxa so far) and exceptional preservation offer unique insights into a terrestrial ecosystem under climatic conditions that Earth might again experience in coming centuries.
More...he Paleogene Period was a time of extremes and transitions. Bounded by the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous and the rise of modern grasslands, the climate of the Paleogene was globally much warmer than today’s, yet continents and ocean basins had nearly modern configurations and supported biotic communities and biogeochemical regimes of broadly familiar types.
