Papers for March 1st Meeting - Thinkin' bout Thinkin'

Howdy everyone! We've got yet ANOTHER sed/paleo/strat/beer meeting (seriously...we need a better name, and one NOT affiliated with the hairy foulness of Robin Williams, please) coming on up here. Ben has generously offered his home up for our raucousness, so big round of applause there. Keep an eye on the email for instructions.

Anyway, the papers up for consideration this week are sort "philosophical" in nature (SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T SUGGEST PAPERS!?!?), mostly around the theme of uniformitarianism in geology. As always, if problems persist in getting these papers, lemme know and I'll email em to you:

Simpson, G.G., 1963, Historical Science in Albritton (ed) The Fabric of Geology, p. 24-48

Simpson 1963


Gould, S.J., 1965, Is Uniformatarianism Neccessary: American Journal of Science, v. 263, p. 223-228.

Gould 1965

Ager, D., 1973, Catastrophic Stratigraphy (Ch 4) and Catastrophic Uniformatarianism (Ch 5) in "The Nature of the Stratigraphical Record", p. 36-57.
