TMS is involved in
organising a variety of meetings. The AGM of the society is held each
Autumn and the society participates in organising a range of events and
meetings with other palaeontological organisations. The constituent
specialist groups of TMS also organise their own meetings, generally
involving (but not limited to) an annual event in the Spring/Summer.
Links to the pages for each of these groups of events can be found
below.

Lyell meetings
TMS
collaborates, via the Joint Council for Palaeontology, with the
Geological Society of London, the Palaeontological Association and the
Palaeontographical Society to organise the annual Lyell Meetings. The
themes of these are different each year, but the overall concept is to
highlight the role of palaeontology in the earth sciences.
The 2012
meeting will be held at the Geological Society, London on Thursday 29th
March. The theme of the meeting will be "Big Palaeontology". A flyer containing more information on the
programme is available to download. More
information on the meeting, including how to register, is available
through the Geological Society website here
