From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Palaeontological Association ("PalAss" for short) is a charitable organisation based in the U.K. founded in 1957 for the promotion of the study of palaeontology. It publishes two main journals, Palaeontology and Special Papers in Palaeontology. In addition, it publishes a regular Newsletter and field guides to important palaeontological biotas. An annual meeting, usually taking place in the UK, is held under its auspices. Worldwide membership is currently about 1000.

The Association confers a number of awards, including the President's Award, Hodson Fund for exceptional early-career achievement (under 35 years), and the organisation's highest award for exceptional life time achievement, the Lapworth Medal.
