NEW YORK
PALEONTOLOGICAL SOCIETY
MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT

 

THE EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY OF

EASTERN NORTH AMERICA 

Chase Brownstein

Graduate Student, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology,

Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut

Sunday, January 19, 2025           2:00 P.M.

THIS MEETING WILL BE HELD ONLINE 

Eastern North America harbors a rich fossil record and today houses perhaps the most species-rich biodiversity hotspot in the northern hemisphere. Yet, relative to western North America, the extinct inhabitants of eastern North America, particularly from the Mesozoic or “age of the non-avian dinosaurs” to the present, are less well known to the general public. In this lecture, Chase Brownstein of Yale University will present an integrative view of how he and colleagues are uncovering the deep, dinosaur-rich past of eastern North America, and how threads from that past still exist in the region today in ancient vertebrate lineages known as 'living fossils'.

 

 

N.Y.P.S. MEETING DATES FOR THE YEAR

These are the meeting dates of the New York Paleontological Society for the 2024-2025 season. We normally meet at 2:00 P.M. in a room at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City (79th Street and Central Park West). However, due to policy changes and new construction, the Museum is unable to assign any rooms for meetings for any groups at this time. Exactly when the Museum will allow groups like our Society to reserve rooms is uncertain.

            But, since room availability may change, it has been decided to hold online meetings on the regular dates and times so that the schedule remains the same whether the meeting is in a room or online. One advantage of online meetings is that they will be recorded so members who can’t attend at the meeting time can view the whole meeting afterwards at their convenience.

 

            Our Annual Party would normally be held at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering in Brooklyn, but new construction may effect the availability of a large enough venue space. Note, due to the nature of the party (many tables, events, talks and wonderful food), this event cannot be held online.

 

            As of this writing, all of the dates this year are on the third Sunday of the month, except April’s. Also, our Annual Holidays Party would be held if possible on a Saturday (the date to be determined), but, again, the available venue space and rules may effect this event. The dates are as follows:

September 15, 2024
December 7 or 14, 2024*
March 16, 2025
October 20, 2024
January 19,  2025
April 27, 2025 **
November 17, 2024
February 16, 2025
May 18, 2025
 

NOTE: All the above dates (for online or in-room meetings) are third Sundays of their respective months, except April’s (**) which is the fourth Sunday.

            * Our Annual Party (a Saturday) - venue and date to be determined if possible
