Palaeontological Association

The Palaeontological Association (PalAss for short) is a charitable organisation based in the UK founded in 1957 for the promotion of the study of palaeontology and allied sciences.
Publications.
The Association publishes two main journals: "Palaeontology" and "Papers in Palaeontology". The latter is the successor to the now discontinued "Special Papers in Palaeontology." In addition, the "Palaeontology Newsletter" is published 3 times per year, and the "Field Guides to Fossils" series covering important palaeontological biotas is published in book form.
Awards.
The Association confers a number of awards, including the Gertrude Elles Award for high-quality public engagement; the Mary Anning Award for outstanding contributions from those not professionally employed in palaeontology; the Hodson Award for exceptional early-career achievement; the President's Medal as a mid-career award; and the organisation's highest award for exceptional lifetime achievement, the Lapworth Medal.
