A brief note on the Friday afternoon lectures. They are all fifteen minute lectures, with slide shows or power point presentations.
The first was Van King with the Ultraviolet light examination of worldwide tourmalines.
Fifteen minutes later was R.Morgan presenting "An initial enquiry into the site-specific deposition of minerals on calcite."
Romania:it's mineral richness and beauty was next. It was presented by M. Lupulescu.
Followed by Chemical composition and zoning of garnets from several Quebec localities.
That was presented by G. Poirier.
Two noteworthy occurences exposed during highway construction, Hull Township, Gatineau County, Quebec was presented by P.M. Belley.
Ray McDougall presented Collecting copper crystals at Mamainse Point,Lake Superior, Onatario.
A New Hampshire mineral species display was presented by T.J. Mortimer.
A mineralogical and historical stufy of the McLear pegmatites, DeKalb Junction New York was presented by R.W. Munschauer II.
And the list goes on, I am sure you can follow up by going to the website about the RMS.
