Brazilian Ostracodologists‘ Meeting / Reunião de Ostracodologistas do Brasil
This regional meeting took place in 2015 for the first time. The following invitation was published on Ostracon:
Dear Ostraconers,
it is a pleasure to inform the Ostracon community of our first Brazilian Ostracodologists Reunion. It will take place at the city of Crato (in the Araripe bassin), during the 14th Brazilian Paleontology Congress. The meeting will happen this Monday, the 3rd August and will have both oral and poster presentations. A special talk given by Dr João Carlos Coimbra and a field trip on the Santana Formation are about to occur within this Reunion. A special publication is also planned so you can expect further information about this. Our growing group would like to thank the community for the support and inspiration.
Best regards,
Msc. Joao Villar de Queiroz Neto

The ostracod model shown on this page was sold by „Frič’s Museum of Natural History“ in Prague at the beginning of the 20th century. Václav Frič opened his store in 1862, which soon became a renowned source of zoological, botanical and mineral specimens and models.
