SEPM Separates from AAPG

Meeting in Los Angeles on 7 June 1987, under the chairmanship of John L. Stout, the House of Delegates approved the dissolution of the Society of Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists as a Technical Division of AAPG (effective 31 December 1987).

In 1987 SEPM was celebrating its 60th anniversary. The SEPM Council and the AAPG Executive Committee had settled upon a separate corporate status for this long-standing division. This solution freed AAPG from liability and gave SEPM autonomy. The mutually beneficial relationship was maintained, however, with SEPM becoming a "corporately independent Associated Society" of AAPG.

Congratulations to SEPM -- which retains the acronym, but is now the Society for Sedimentary Geology -- on their 75th birthday!

Derived from History of the House of Delegates, 1970-1995 compiled by George R. Gibson and Herbert G. Davis.
