Permophiles Issue #39 2001Coming Soon! – Canadian Society of PetroleumGeologists MEMOIR 19CARBONIFEROUS AND PERMIAN OF THE WORLD, XIVINTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON THE CARBONIFEROUSAND PERMIAN (M19)This memoir highlights a 100 million year interval during whichthe supercontinent Pangea was assembled, addressing issues ofsedimentology, stratigraphy, resources, and paleontology.Memoir 19 contains 60 refereed papers representing the selectedproceedings of the XIV International Congress on the Carboniferousand Permian held at the University of Calgary in August1999.This publication will be valuable to geoscientists interestedin Carboniferous and Permian geology, not only in WesternCanada, but also around the world. Topics covered include:• Belloy Formation sequences and paleogeography in thePeace River Basin• Seven papers on Cyclothems from Western Canada, USA,and Spain• Coal Resources and a North Sea gas play• U-Pb geochronology, sedimentology and stratigraphy oftuff in the Exshaw Formation• Carboniferous palynology and megaflora• Carboniferous sedimentology and stratigraphy of easternNorth America• Paleontological correlations of the Carboniferous andPermian• Discussions on Global Stratotype Sections and Pointsfor Carboniferous and Permian stages.The International Congress on the Carboniferous and Permian(ICCP) was first held in June 1927 in Heerlen, The Netherlands.The meetings have been held mostly in Europe (Heerlen, Paris,Sheffield, Krefeld, Moscow, Madrid, Krakow), but also in SouthAmerica (Buenos Aires), Asia (Beijing), and North America(Urbana, Illinois and for the first time in Canada at Calgary,Alberta in August 1999). The meeting began by looking only atthe Carboniferous from the perspective of understanding thegeology of this resource-rich, coal-bearing system. At Beijing in1987 the Permian System was added to the congress, which wasa natural extension to many Carboniferous geological problems.The ICCP is one of the oldest and most prestigious of thestratigraphic congresses associated with the InternationalCommission on Stratigraphy and the International Union ofGeological Sciences. Almost three hundred people attended theCalgary meeting and presented over 300 talks, posters, and coredisplays. The meeting was in part sponsored by the CanadianSociety of Petroleum Geologists.Edited by Len V. Hills, Charles M.
