This proposal requests a travel grant for three American                members of the mid-Carboniferous Boundary Working Group of the                  Subcommission on Carboniferous Stratigraphy (IUGS, ICS) to                      attend the 11th International Carboniferous Congress in China                   from mid-August to early September, 1987.  Cost is $9,655 which                 will be used for coach airfare, field trip expenses,                            registration, room, meals and administrative fees.  The Working                 Group is charged with locating a mid-Carboniferous boundary                     stratotype based on the first stratigraphic occurrence of the                   conodont species  Declinognathodus noduliferous.  A boundary                    stratotype at this level is desirable for North American                        stratigraphers because it coincides with the Mississippian-                     Pennsylvanian boundary.  Participation by American members in                   this and future Working Group meetings is necessary to ensure                   selection of the boundary at this position and to promote                       acceptance of the North American classification by the                          international geological community.
