LATIN-AMERICAN SYMPOSIUM ON ICHNOLOGY
Third Circular - Updated in October 7th, 2010
Oct 30 to Nov 07, 2010, São Leopoldo, Brazil
The Latin-American Symposium on Ichnology – SLIC 2010 will be held in São Leopoldo, south of Brazil, at the Rio dos Sinos University (UNISINOS). The main objective of this Symposium is to bring ichnologists and students from South America and from all over the world to share and discuss ideas related to Ichnology. There will be oral and poster presentations as well as invited conferences. Additionally, three field trips are planned to examine shallow-marine, marginal-marine and continental deposits bearing trace fossils. Two mini-courses, one round-table and a mini-workshop covering relevant aspects of Ichnology are also planned.

PAPERS PUBLICATION
The journals Revista Brasileira de Paleontologia and Ameghiniana, both indexed on ISI, will publish papers related to the works accepted for presentation in the SLIC 2010 in their regular issues. Those interested in submit manuscripts to RBP should observe the instructions to authors at www.sbpbrasil.org and send the files to netto.re@gmail.com. Those interested in submit manuscripts to Ameghiniana should observe the instructions to authors and submission at www.scielo.org.ar/revistas/ameg. The phrase "This paper was presented in the Latin American Symposium on Ichnology – SLIC 2010" must be included at the end of the acknowledgments.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Oral presentations will last 15 min, followed by 5 minutes for questions and discussions. The time will be absolutely observed by chairpersons, so we advise you to plan well the length of your presentation to avoid interrupting it. The audio-visual material must be digital and built in PowerPoint, preferably version 2007.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTER PRESENTATIONS
Posters may occupy a maximum area of 0.90 cm x 1.20 cm. Please do not apply plastic film or plastic terminations; the poster display area only allows fixing light material. For this reason, and to ensure the best viewing of the work, it is recommended to print the poster on glossy paper.
The poster presentations will last at least half a day. However, the posters can be exposed for longer periods, depending on the number of presented posters and the available space for your display. There will be no formal presentation to the large group. The author presenting the poster should stay in the exhibition hall during the time determined to the poster exhibition. Be aware of the intervals; most of the participants use this time to visit the posters.
For more information about instructions for oral and poster presentations, please contact Noelia Carmona or Francisco Tognoli at slic2010.brasil@gmail.com, with the subject INFORMATION ABOUT WORK PRESENTATION.

THE CAMPUS OF UNISINOS
UNISINOS has a broad, tree-lined campus, of easy access and with excellent infrastructure to host the participants of the SLIC 2010. The symposium will take place in the Auditorium Sergio Concli Gomes, located in the hallway I of Building 6. The direct access of vehicles and pedestrians to Building 6 is through Gate D. However, Building D can be accessed from any gate or inner area of the campus.
From the Trensurb Unisinos Station, there is a shuttle bus from the Central Co. that makes the connection between the train and the internal areas of the campus. The trip is free but you must pick the ticket with the transport controller, in the boarding area.
The campus has at least six self service restaurants offering lunch and dinner buffet style by weight and several canteens offering snack service and a la carte dishes. It also has outpatient clinics with emergency services (ambulance), pharmacy, banks (Bank of Brazil, Banco Real, Banco Santander, Banrisul, Caixa Economica Federal), a bookshop and stationery, and shops. Sports recreation area, public computer rooms with Internet access, library and the Museum of Geological History of Rio Grande do Sul are also available.
