About Palaeontology

Welcome to the Palaeontology Society. This society is for students who have an interest in palaeontology - not just palaeo students, but of any course!

We host a mix of weekly palaeo related activities such as talks from experts, palaeo watch parties, fossil hunting, museum trips and more! We also do many social events including pub nights and club nights (you'll often find us at Indie Night!).

If you're interested in the society don't hesitate to follow our instagram, @uoppalaeosociety. We also have a WhatsApp and Discord for discussing events and anything palaeo-related you may be interested in. If there are any other events you would like to see from us, feel free to get in touch on the Instagram or by emailing us at palaeontology@upsu.net. We want everyone to feel comfortable in our society so don't hesitate to drop us a message, we want this society to be a fun and safe space for everyone!

By purchasing a (free!) membership, you also automatically become a member of SAPS - the Student Association of Palaeontological Societies. This is a coalition of UK Palaeo Societies which aims to provide affordable and accessible scientific content made for and by students, such as the Aeons magazine and the yearly SAPS conference. Join today, and make a difference in UK entry-level Palaeontology!
