Dispatch from the Permocarboniferous—In Print!
8:43 am
The New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science has just released several additions to its scientific bulletin series, including two that were assembled for the Nonmarine Permian Symposium. Bulletin 30 (The Nonmarine Permian) is the symposium volume, chock full of papers from paleontologists, paleobotanists, geologists, and other researchers from around the world.
But I really want to promote Bulletin 31, The Permian of Central New Mexico. As you might guess, this is a smaller, more focused collection of papers, and it reviews the current state of research in New Mexico Permian localities that are still producing fossils after a century of exploration and collecting. Several of the pen-and-ink drawings displayed in our Dispatch from the Permocarboniferous posts are published in this volume, including a nice toothy Eryops on the front cover (the skull that inspired the image is described inside).
The bulletins can be purchased online here. Longtime HMNH visitors might recognize the artwork on the covers of Bulletins 29 and 30.
