2) Speakers will have 20 minutes including time for questions, and the sessions will be kept on schedule by the Chairs, to allow for judging of the high number of student presentations. The Rupert MacNeill and Sandra Barr student awards will be presented at the Banquet. 3) Speakers will have one LCD projector with a dedicated laptop, and a laser pointer available. Slide preview room will be the Mactaquac Room. Deliver your CD or memory stick to the technical assistant well in advance of your scheduled talk; if possible have it loaded on the session computers on Friday February 6, before 7pm. The Beausejour requires 3 days notice for the number of meal attendees. Accordingly, buy your Luncheon and Banquet tickets prior to arrival by registering through the AGS website http://ags.earthsciences.dal.ca/ags.php, or else notify Jim Walker by phone: (506) 547-2070; Fax: (506) 547-7694; or e-mail: Jim.Walker@gnb.ca WORKSHOP “Rationalization of the Mississippian stratigraphy of the Maritimes Basin through inter-regional correlations and nomenclatural debate” Time: Friday, February 6, 1-5 PM, Shediac A Convenor: Pierre Jutras, St. Mary’s University Moderator: John Waldron, University of Alberta Mississippian units in the Maritimes are at present very poorly correlated from one region to the next, which complicates large scale geological studies on rocks of that interval. This workshop will include short formal talks by geologists who have worked extensively on units of that interval in different areas of the Maritimes, followed by lengthy discussion periods during which other workers who are interested in the upper Paleozoic geology of eastern Canada will also have a voice. This workshop session aims at resolving certain contentious issues regarding the existing Mississippian stratigraphic nomenclature in the Maritimes Basin, and is an effort at rationalizing it.
