Colleagues,

May I draw your attention to the following:


TWO HUNDRED YEARS OF PTEROSAURS: A SYMPOSIUM ON THE ANATOMY, EVOLUTION, 
PALAEOBIOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTS OF MESOZOIC FLYING REPTILES

Toulouse, France, 5-8 September 2001

Excerpted from the First Circular:

'This occasion seems a good opportunity to take stock of recent 
developments in the study of pterosaurs and to discuss current problems 
concerning this group of extinct vertebrates. The symposium will deal 
with all aspects of pterosaur palaeontology: anatomy, phylogeny, 
palaeobiology, ichnology, palaeoecology and the history of pterosaur 
research. Papers are invited on all those topics, as well as on other 
extinct flying or gliding reptiles and on the geological environments in 
which pterosaur remains are found.'

Accommodation is available in numerous hotels with a large range of 
prices (details will be sent in the second circular). 

Excursions to:

The Late Jurassic 'Pterosaur Beach' at Crayssac (Lot), where both 
pterosaur footprints and bones have been found.

The Esperaza Dinosaur Museum (Aude), which houses remains of Late 
Cretaceous pterosaur bones and to nearby pterosaur localities. 

Organising committee: 

Jean-Michel Mazin (Poitiers)
Jean-Paul Billon-Bruyat (Poitiers)
Eric Buffetaut (Paris)
Francis Duranthon (Toulouse)
Michel Bilotte (Toulouse)
