AAPG International Conference & Exhibition
October 24-27, 2004 • Cancun Convention Center • Cancun, Mexico

The Field Trips program includes topics from the traditional production on the Golden Lane and Poza Rica Field to the Tertiary type localities and the modern sedimentary environments.

The transition between siliciclastic and carbonate modern sedimentary environments is the focus of an excellent field trip from the Grijalva Delta to west of the Yucatan Shelf. The tectonic influence on modern mixed clastic-carbonate deposition is also shown at the eastern part of the Yucatan Peninsula in a very particular tectonic setting.

The tectonic aspect of the petroleum exploration will also be covered: Salt tectonics in northeast Mexico and a strike slip fault system on the southeast end of the Northamerican Plate will be explored.

The influence of the Chicxulub impact on the Cantarell reservoir will be demonstrated.

Ancient Mexican cultures are another outstanding complementary objective included in several field trips. This is an important opportunity for explorationists interested in the Prehispanic history of Central America. The ancient cultures are a bonus: Totonaca, Olmeca and Maya are three main Prehispanic civilizations that participants will have the fabulous opportunity to see.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Field trips are limited in size.
• Field trips are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis and must be accompanied by payment.
• A wait list is automatically created if a field trip sells out. The AAPG Convention Department will notify you if space becomes available.
• Undersubscribed field trips will be cancelled. Before purchasing non-refundable airline tickets, be sure to receive final confirmation that the trip will occur.
• Several weeks prior to the trip, participants will receive an itinerary with details of meeting points, phone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses of trip leaders and hotels, transportation within the field trip, etc. Please include your fax and e-mail (preferably) on your registration.
• It is recommended that you consider prepurchasing the Mexican domestic flights in and out of Cancun as part of your total round-trip ticket.
• You will be required to sign and return to AAPG a release and indemnity agreement, included with the itinerary in order to participate in any field trip.
• Neither AAPG nor the leaders of the field trips maintain insurance covering illness or injury for individuals. Please check your personal insurance before traveling or read "Temporary Health Insurance".
