Seven members of Ichnoplanet presented original research at the first ever USASK Palaeobiology Society Geoscience Symposium on the University of Saskatchewan campus on March 7th, 2026. The symposium featured keynote speakers Dr. Emily Bamforth from the Phillip Curie Museum and Dr. Anthony Shillito from the University of Saskatchewan presenting their original research on Triceratops from Saskatchewan and the colonization of terrestrial environments, respectively. We had a full and exciting day of presentations on a wide range of topics including dinosaurs, brachiopods, plesiosaurs, and, of course, trace fossils.

We’d like to thank the USASK Palaeobiology Society for organizing this outstanding conference and all of the attendees that came out to see the talks highlighting new findings in paleontology.
