This conference is open to all, and we invite professionals, amateurs and enthusiasts in the field of marine reptiles to attend. The primary focus will be on the fossil record, covering not only the marine reptiles but also the other organisms which formed part of their ecosystems. A session will also take place on modern reptiles, and we welcome abstracts from researchers studying all aspects of this field.
