Association of American Geologists and Naturalists

The Association of American Geologists and Naturalists was an American Scientific organization. The society was founded in 1840 as the "American Association of Geologists" in Philadelphia. In 1842, it renamed itself the Association of American Geologists and Naturalists.

By a vote of its members, it became, in 1848, the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

The Association of American Geologists and Naturalists may be related also to a short-lived American Geological Society (1819 – 1828) founded at Yale University.
