Thematic symposia (12)
The aim is to include contributions from both the marine and non-marine realms and to cover a broad geographical area encompassing the North Atlantic and the whole of the Palaearctic region. We welcome contributions from the Plio-Pleistocene to the Holocene. Likely themes could involve historical biogeography, environmental archaeology, palaeoecology and stratigraphy. The symposium is organised by EQMal (European Quaternary Malacologists) and Naturalis (National Museum of Natural History) in Leiden (The Netherlands).
Wednesday July 18, Lecture hall –003 (Bioruimte) at 10.00 am
EQMal and Naturalis organise a workshop on Quaternary mollusca.
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.
