The Club holds two one-day meetings each year, in spring and autumn. The venue of the spring meeting is rotated between different towns, including Dunoon, Oban. LochgilpheadandTarbert.Thc autumn meeting and AGM are usually held in Invenny or another conveniently central location. The Club organises field trips for members. It also publishes the annual Argyll Bird Report and a quarterly members’ newsletter, The Eider, which includes details of club activities, reports from meetings and field trips, and feature articles by members and others, Each year the subscription entitles you to the ArgyZl Bird Report, four issues of The Eider, and free admission to the two annual meetings.

BRETT-SURMAN2 1Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow, University Avenue, Glasgow, G12 8QQ, UK (e-mail: [email protected]) 2Smithsonian Institution, Department of Paleobiology, PO Box 37012, MRC 121 Washington, DC 20013-7012, USA Synopsis Measurements of Middle Jurassic tridactyl dinosaur tracks from the Bathonian, Lealt Shale, Valtos Sandstone, Duntulm and Kilmaluag formations of the Isle of Skye, UK, are compared to the same measurements taken for dinosaur footprints from the Bajocian, Gypsum Spring and the Bathonian, Sundance Formation of the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming, USA. Principal component analysis of the data suggests that the smaller footprints from the Valtos Sandstone and Kilmaluag formations are indistinguishable from the footprints of the Sundance Formation. The single footprint from the Lealt Shale Formation is similar to the larger footprints from the Valtos Sandstone Formation. The footprints from the Duntulm and Gypsum Springs formations form distinct groupings from all other footprints. Four different groupings of dinosaur footprints can be recognized from the principal component analysis that may represent at least four different types of dinosaur.

  • Tiago Rodrigues Simões
    Diapsid Phylogeny and the Origin and Early Evolution of Squamates by Tiago Rodrigues Simões A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in SYSTEMATICS AND EVOLUTION Department of Biological Sciences University of Alberta © Tiago Rodrigues Simões, 2018 ABSTRACT Squamate reptiles comprise over 10,000 living species and hundreds of fossil species of lizards, snakes and amphisbaenians, with their origins dating back at least as far back as the Middle Jurassic. Despite this enormous diversity and a long evolutionary history, numerous fundamental questions remain to be answered regarding the early evolution and origin of this major clade of tetrapods. Such long-standing issues include identifying the oldest fossil squamate, when exactly did squamates originate, and why morphological and molecular analyses of squamate evolution have strong disagreements on fundamental aspects of the squamate tree of life. Additionally, despite much debate, there is no existing consensus over the composition of the Lepidosauromorpha (the clade that includes squamates and their sister taxon, the Rhynchocephalia), making the squamate origin problem part of a broader and more complex reptile phylogeny issue. In this thesis, I provide a series of taxonomic, phylogenetic, biogeographic and morpho-functional contributions to shed light on these problems. I describe a new taxon that overwhelms previous hypothesis of iguanian biogeography and evolution in Gondwana (Gueragama sulamericana). I re-describe and assess the functional morphology of some of the oldest known articulated lizards in the world (Eichstaettisaurus schroederi and Ardeosaurus digitatellus), providing clues to the ancestry of geckoes, and the early evolution of their scansorial behaviour.

This is a familiar place for AGS, having been a host several times over the years. We hope you will find something to interest you and generate discussion with old friends and new. AGS members are clearly pushing the boundaries of geoscience in all its branches! Be sure to take in the science on the posters and the displays from sponsors, and don’t miss the after-banquet jam and open mike on Saturday night. For social media types, please consider sharing updates on Facebook and Twitter (details in the program). We hope you will be able to use the weekend to renew old acquaintances, make new ones, and further the aims of your Atlantic Geoscience Society.

Improved efforts are required to monitor the anthropogenically driven pH decrease in the context of natural pH variations. We present here a high resolution surface water pH data set obtained in summer 2011 in North West European Shelf Seas.

  • Selected Core from the Albert Formation (Mississippian), Moncton Basin, Southern New Brunswick
    Selected Core from the Albert Formation (Mississippian), Moncton Basin, Southern New Brunswick Dave Keighley* University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada [email protected] and Clint St. Peter Hugh John Flemming Centre, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada Abstract Introduction The Moncton Basin is located in the southeastern part of New Brunswick (Fig. 1) and has a long history of petroleum activity. In the area ~25 km S of Moncton there has been mining of solid bitumen, Albertite, at Albert Mines (1850's); minor and intermittent production of oil/gas at Dover and Saint-Joseph (1859 to 1905); and oil and gas production at Stoney Creek (1911 to 1991 - gas was piped to the city for ~80 years). Stoney Creek gas is sweet, but wet, and the oil (total in place ~2.1 x 106 m3 with <5% recovered to date) is paraffinic with a pour point of over 7oC (45oF). Numerous appraisals of the oil shale in the area (e.g. Shell Albert Mines # 4 borehole) have also been undertaken periodically. In 2000, focus shifted 80 km west, where the McCully Gas Field (~1 TCF in place) was discovered, east of Sussex, by Corridor Resources Inc. and Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (PCS). The A-67 discovery well (initial flow: 2.5 mcf p. day), and adjacent P-66 well currently produce gas for the PCS mill, but a link to the M&NE pipeline (Fig. 1) is planned to go into operation in late 2006. Approx. 17bcf (proven, ~120 bcf P2) remains in this production area (8% of the total joint venture area).
