EAVP

The European Association of Vertebrate Palaeontologists (EAVP) was founded in 2003 for individuals with an interest in vertebrate palaeontology. [1] EAVP currently has over 100 members, [2] the vast majority of them professional vertebrate palaeontologists. EAVP understands itself as a forum for palaeontologists in a traditionally multilingual and multicultural area, defining "Europe" not in a political, but in a geographical and cultural meaning. EAVP is legally based in Germany.

Aims

EAVP's aim are to

Workshops and annual meetings

EAVP hosts a yearly workshop in different European locations. For the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin EAVP additionally hosted an Extraordinary Meeting at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences.

Annual Meetings of the European Association of Vertebrate Palaeontologists: [3]

Annual meeting of the European Workshop of Vertebrate Paleontology

Publications

EAVP's official journal is the peer-reviewed palaeontological journal Oryctos, which publishes French or English peer-reviewed original contributions on all aspects of Vertebrate Palaeontology and Comparative anatomy, as well as papers dealing with the history of those scientific disciplines.

For each EAVP workshop an abstract volume is published.

Funds

With the Raymonde Rivoallan Fund EAVP has established a fund that contributes travel funding for two students each year for participation in the EAVP workshops.

Paleontology or palaeontology is the study of prehistoric life forms on Earth through the examination of plant and animal fossils. This includes the study of body fossils, tracks (ichnites), burrows, cast-off parts, fossilised feces (coprolites), palynomorphs and chemical residues. Because humans have encountered fossils for millennia, paleontology has a long history both before and after becoming formalized as a science. This article records significant discoveries and events related to paleontology that occurred or were published in the year 1864.

<i>Spinophorosaurus</i> Middle Jurassic genus of sauropod dinosaur

Spinophorosaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived in what is now Niger during the Middle Jurassic period. The first two specimens were excavated in the 2000s by German and Spanish teams under difficult conditions. The skeletons were brought to Europe and digitally replicated, making Spinophorosaurus the first sauropod to have its skeleton 3D printed, and were to be returned to Niger in the future. Together, the two specimens represented most of the skeleton of the genus, and one of the most completely known basal sauropods of its time and place. The first skeleton was made the holotype specimen of the new genus and species Spinophorosaurus nigerensis in 2009; the generic name refers to what was initially thought to be spiked osteoderms, and the specific name refers to where it was found. A juvenile sauropod from the same area was later assigned to the genus.

The Jurassic Museum of Asturias is located in the area of Rasa de San Telmo near the parish of Llastres in the municipality of Colunga, Asturias, Spain. Though the municipality of Ribadesella was initially proposed, Colunga was chosen for the building site in the late 1990s. Several landmarks are visible from the museum including the Bay of Biscay, the Sierra del Sueve, and the Picos de Europa. Strategically located over a mount on the Rasa de San Temo, the museum is in the midst the Jurassic Asturias.

<i>Lagenanectes</i> Genus of reptiles (fossil)

Lagenanectes is a genus of elasmosaurid plesiosaur from the Lower Cretaceous, found in Lower Saxony, Germany. The only species, Lagenanectes richterae, was first described in 2017, and is regarded as one of the best-preserved plesiosaur fossils from this geological age in Europe. Lagenanectes is one of the earliest elasmosaurids. The holotype is an incomplete skeleton, comprising large parts of the skull, some neck and tail vertebrae as well as ribs and part of the limbs. A length of about 8 meters has been estimated.
