The Paleontological Society Offer New Membership to Amateur/Avocational Paleontologists

ps-logoOn behalf of The Paleontological Society, I am very pleased to announce the establishment of a new regular-membership category for amateur/avocational paleontologists.  This category, which formally takes effect at the start of 2017, carries all the privileges of the existing regular-membership category, but at a discounted annual rate of $30.  This membership category was formally ratified by The Paleontological Society Council last Spring at its midyear meeting in Atlanta, and is the first stage in what will become a multifaceted effort on the part of The Paleontological Society  to better serve the interests and needs of the amateur/avocational community, and to enhance interactions among professional and amateur/avocational groups (see: http://www.myfossil.org/the-paleontological-society-would-like-to-hear-from-you/ ).

Member benefits are enumerated at http://paleosoc.org/benefits-of-membership-in-the-paleontological-society/ , and include free online access to The Society’s two journals, the Journal of Paleontology and Paleobiology.  You can join online or download a membership form at http://rock.geosociety.org/membership/paleo/

Stay tuned in the coming months for additional news!  In the meantime, feel free to send me an email if you have any questions or thoughts.
