newsletter
the
main
1998 meeting was held in
Warsaw, Poland. IGCP 406 was also represented t at the
Silurian Subcommission meeting in Spain (Märss), the
ECOS VII (conodont) meeting in Italy (see report below), and
SVP meetings in U.S.A. Several smaller workshops, field
meetings, and field trips (funded by other agencies) were
also held by project participants.
