Marine Reptile Conference

Venue Details

Host Institution:

The Etches Collection: Museum of Jurassic Marine Life, in Dorset

Venue Details:

The Etches Collection holds a world class collection of Jurassic marine material, with numerous holotypes and newly discovered marine reptile species. It also has a comprehensive range of fossil material that represents the Jurassic marine ecosystem, with many showing evidence for predation.

Field Trip:

There will be a field trip on the first day, to Kimmeridge Bay, led by Steve Etches.

Conference Dinner:

Springfield Country Hotel and Spa in Stoborough

Accommodation:

Delegates are offered a discount at Springfield Country Hotel and Spa. There are also B&Bs, camp sites and hotels relatively close to Kimmeridge

Transport:

There is limited parking in Kimmeridge and delegates with their own cars are encouraged to car-pool from the accomodation to the conference venue wherever possible. Which is also better for the environment! For those on public transportation, organisers will lay on a minibus between accommodation in Stoborough and the conference venue in Kimmeridge

Notes:

This meeting will consist of two days of oral platform presentations, discussions and posters plus an optional conference meal. There will also be a field trip to the fossiliferous Kimmeridge Bay area on the first day.
