Rocky Mountain Section:
Society for Sedimentary Geology
RMS-SEPM exists to provide a stimulating forum within the Rockies geologic community for issues related to sedimentology, stratigraphy, and sedimentary petrology. This is achieved through monthly luncheon technical presentations, diverse though infrequent publication efforts, and sponsorship of field trips and core workshops. RMS-SEPM is a non-profit, professional organization with a membership drawn from a broad range of geologic backgrounds representing academia, research institutions, consulting organizations, and natural resource companies.
Upcoming Events:
Brewery Rendezvous at Golden City Brewing October 23rd
Our next Luncheon Lecture October 28th w/ Jane Hearon titled: “Integrated stratigraphic and geochemical analysis of a drill core of the Maastrichtian Lewis Shale in the Eastern Washakie Basin, Wyoming”
