[Nhcoll-l] You are invited! Tellus Mineral Symposium 2017 - Hydrothermal Mineralization

[Sarah Christensen]

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to attend the 2017 annual Tellus Mineral
Symposium!



*Hydrothermal Mineralization**        TELLUS MINERAL SYMPOSIUM 2017*

SATURDAY MARCH 25, 2017
9am – 5pm*
Members: $35    Non-Members $45

Prepaid reservation required. Includes all presentations, breakfast and
lunch as well as museum admission and discounted field trip registration.

HYDROTHERMAL MINERALIZATION is responsible for creating hundreds of
different minerals – from facetable amethysts, to stunning calcite and
fluorite specimens, to industrial minerals such as copper, galena, and
barite. 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!
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.
