Join experts in the field at the Tellus Mineral Symposium 2017 to learn about these fascinating deposits that are not only found on Earth, but as you will learn at the symposium, have also been found on Mars! <br>This symposium requires pre-registration. In addition to the presentations, registration includes breakfast and lunch buffet, museum admission and discounted registration to the Sunday field trip. A dinner in the Great Hall with event hosts and speakers can be added for $25.<br><span style="background-color:rgb(249,203,156)"><br><strong><span style="line-height:14.72px;color:black;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">SPEAKERS</span></strong></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color:rgb(249,203,156)"><strong><span style="line-height:14.72px;color:black;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><u>Dr. Molly McCanta</u></span><span style="line-height:14.72px;color:black;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;font-weight:normal"><u> – University of Tennessee</u><br></span></strong><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:15.3333px">Hydrothermal mineralization on Mars: Changing views from planetary rovers </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color:rgb(249,203,156)"><span style="line-height:14.72px;color:black;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><u><b>Rachael Ledford </b>– Jackson Crossroads Amethyst Mine</u><br></span><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:15.3333px">Hydrothermal “Grape Jelly” – The Origin and History of Amethyst Mining at Jackson Crossroads</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color:rgb(249,203,156)"><strong><span style="line-height:14.72px;color:black;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><u>Stan Bearden</u></span><span style="line-height:14.72px;color:black;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;font-weight:normal"><u> – New Riverside Ochre</u><br></span></strong><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:15.3333px">Hydrothermal Mineralization and History of the Cartersville Mining District</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color:rgb(249,203,156)"><span style="line-height:14.72px;color:black;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><u><b>Jame A.
