The Paleontological Society in Boulder, Colorado announced $30 memberships to the society. The president, Arnie Miller, announced the creation of a “new regular-membership category for amateur/avocational paleontologists. This category, which formally takes effect at the start of 2017, carries all the privileges of the existing regular-membership category, but at a discounted annual rate of $30.”
