WCM conference trips
Lecture hall U -003 (Bioruimte)
People working on fossil (mostly non-marine) Mollusca from European Quaternary deposits
often meet taxonomic problems that can hardly be solved by the use of existing literature that
is mostly concerned with extant species. Along with its meetings EQMal often organizes
workshops at which molluscan paleontologists can discuss these problems under the
microscope. Anyone who wants to contribute and discuss matters of taxonomy,
identification, stratigraphy, etc. is invited to attend the workshop. Those who intend to
contribute to the workshop are asked to submit the topics and taxa they should like to
discuss. Contact Tom Meijer (meijert@naturalis.nl.)
