September 2008 Meeting Announcement
KMPS next regular meeting will be Sunday, September 28th, 2008 at 2:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. at Park University, Science Building, Room 5, Parkville, Missouri. The building is located in the middle of the campus. Take Highway 9 to 6th Street in Parkville, just 2 blocks north of the Post Office, then east on 6th to a street just past the large domed gymnasium on the right. Turn right on this street and park on the right side of the street. Walk the rest of the block to the large natural limestone building which is the science building. The classroom is in the basement at the south end of the hall. Entrance is easiest at the south end of the building. We hope as many members as possible will attend. Don’t miss this one as door prizes will be drawn. If you have any spare fossils to add to the drawing please bring them with you. Suggestions for field trips are welcome.

Welcome to the Kansas & Missouri Paleontological Society (KSMOPaleo.org) Web Site
"Fossils are common, only paleontologists are rare."
Amateurs are not rare but they do work frequently alone or in small groups. Their efforts are sometimes helpful to the professional and to the science of paleontology, but that may be the exception and not the rule. The education of the amateur is often long and slow, if not insufficient. Do you want more educational opportunities or more contact with others in this field of study?
As there has been no Paleontological organization in the Greater Kansas City, Missouri or Kansas City, Kansas area for at least twenty years, I would like to invite you and your family to join our organization and experience paleontology with us.
Gil Parker
Society President
