III International Meeting on Mesozoic Fishes
- Systematics, Paleoenvironments and Biodiversity -

August 26-31,
2001
Serpiano (TI-CH
)

Dear Collegues, the new century is near and with it our first mesofishes meeting of the third millennium. More than 70 researchers have sent their preliminary registrations, covering all the aspects of the Mesozoic Fishes. We are working hard to rise founds to help some people to come to Serpiano and to make your stay there as nice and interesting as possible.

Dates are fixed: as supposed in the first circular the meeting will start on August 26 with the registration and possibly a first event in the afternoon. Owing the the high number of oral communications announced, we will have 25 minutes speaches (comprising the discussion) in five days of scientific sessions. Short excursions are programmed for two half and one complete afternoon to visit the close-by localities in which excavations are still going on as well as the local museums with collections of fossil from the Besano-Monte San Giorgio area. The social dinner will be on the top of the Monte Generoso (1700 m.a.s.l)., but in a restaurant!, going up and down by 45 minutes of rack-railway and with the possibility of visiting, before the dinner, a cave bear excavation in a near cave with touristic access.

Visa
For those who need visa, remember that the meeting is in Switzerland, but we will go also in Italy for one excursion, so remember to ask for multiple entrances for both Italy (if you will arrive through Italy) and Switzerland as this latter country does not belong to E.U. If you need an ufficial invitation, please ask as soon as possible.

Accomodation
All of us stay at the Hotel Serpiano, which is isolated near the top of the Monte San Giorgio. Remember that there is no other possibility of accomodation, so please send your final registration as soon as possible. Last minute booking could be impossible. We will keep the contacts with the Hotel, so as we receive your registration form, we book for you (one day deposit is asked).

Very special price for our meeting is SFr 105.00/day for bed, breackfast and lunch in double room (single room add SFr 20.00). We hope that most of the dinners will be offered by local communities, museums or other sponsors.

Travel
To reach Serpiano you can use Milano-Malpensa or Lugano-Agno airports or, if you come by train, Lugano or Chiasso stations. From each one of these points buses can easily reach Mendrisio and then Serpiano. However, you will receive an offer from a Travel Agency from Lugano (I Giovani Viaggi) regarding flight+transport to Serpiano.

Climate
At the end of August we have usually still warm summer wheather. However, the Hotel Serpiano is at 650 m.a.s.l. and the evening could be fresh. Wind and showers may happen. Also, bring something heavier for the social dinner. Field shoes will need for visiting both the excavation sites and the bear cave on the Monte Generoso.

Abstracts
Abstracts should be send, possibly by e.mail, to andrea.tintori@unimi.it as attached in MS-Word style. Each abstract must not exceed one page (interline 1, character Times New Roman 12). Only line-drawings will be accepted. Please specify if the abstract is for a speach or a poster.

N.B. REMEMBER THAT IN ITALY AND IN CANTON TICINO AUGUST IS A HOLIDAY MONTH, SO PLEASE RESPECT THE DEADLINE BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE EVERYTHING READY ONE MONTH BEFORE THE MEETING
