Vertebrate Paleontology
Society of Vertebrate Paleontology 2010 Annual Meeting
 Members and Friends of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology:
The Section of Vertebrate Paleontology at Carnegie Museum of Natural History is excited to host the annual meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology in Pittsburgh in 2010. This meeting celebrates the 70th anniversary of the SVP, and the official title for the meeting this year will be SVP 70th Anniversary Meeting.
From its founding in 1895 right up to the present day, Carnegie Museum of Natural History has played a vital role in the development of vertebrate paleontology in North America. The SVP 70th Anniversary Meeting represents a homecoming for the Society, and it provides us with the opportunity to showcase the museum’s recently renovated Mesozoic gallery Dinosaurs in their Time.
Pittsburgh is conveniently located in southwestern Pennsylvania, affording easy travel connections by air, rail, and major highways. The city is home to numerous scientific and cultural institutions, as well as several major universities. Autumn visitors to the region may enjoy the fall foliage in the Laurel Highlands, which is home to the museum’s field research station, Powdermill Nature Reserve, as well as Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural masterpiece Fallingwater.
