Twenhofel Medal
The Twenhofel Medal is
the highest award of SEPM Society for Sedimentary Geology. This award
is in recognition of "Outstanding Contributions to Sedimentary
Geology."
Nominees will be chosen
who are recognized as having made outstanding contributions to
paleontology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, and/or allied scientific
disciplines. The contributions will normally involve extensive
personal research, but may involve some combination of research,
teaching, administration, or other activities which have notably
advanced scientific knowledge in Sedimentary Geology. A record of
sustained high achievement is an essential qualification. Candidates
shall be selected from the entire scientific community of sedimentary
geologists and are not to be limited to members of any society in
particular, nor to citizens of any one country. As the Twenhofel is
the Society's highest medal of recognition, recipients are not
eligible for the Moore, Pettijohn, or Shepard Medals; the Wilson
Awards; or for Honorary Membership after receiving the Twenhofel
Medal.
Link to Nomination Form
Honorary Membership
Honorary Membership in
the SEPM Society for Sedimentary Geology acknowledges excellence in
professional achievements and extraordinary service to the Society.
Candidates must be active
members of the national Society; recognized as having made outstanding
research, teaching, or administrative contributions to paleontology,
sedimentology, stratigraphy or allied disciplines; and served the aims
of the Society through elected offices, committees, or other
significant contributions. Records of sustained professional
achievements and dedicated Society service are essential
qualifications. Obvious candidates may be characterized by
acknowledged publication records and service to the Society as elected
officer; however, the committee for selection of candidates for
Honorary Membership should be sensitive to nominees who have
contributed professionally, and to the Society in less apparent ways.
Honorary Membership in the
Society is a privilege and honor and thus should be restricted to a
select few. The Society will limit the total number of living Honorary
Members to one percent (1%) of the total membership, and no more than
three can be elected each year in order to control the size of the
body of Honorary Members as a means of preserving their prestigious
rank.

Francis P.
Shepard Medal for Marine Geology
The Francis P. Shepard
Medal for Marine Geology is awarded in recognition of "Excellence in
Marine Geology."
Nominees for the medal
will be persons who have a sustained record of outstanding research
contributions to Marine Geology (e.g. the distribution and
characterization of modern sediments, marine geomorphology, or the
structure of continental margins) or to other significant aspects of
Marine Geology, such as geophysics, geobiology, and geochemistry,
providing there is a clear link to marine sedimentation. The
recognition is not to be limited to members of the Society or other
professional organizations, nor to citizens of any one country.
Recipients of the Shepard Medal are eligible as later nominees for the
Twenhofel Medal.

Raymond C. Moore
Medal for Paleontology
The Raymond C. Moore
Paleontology Medal is awarded in recognition of "Excellence in
Paleontology."
Nominees for the medal
will be persons who have a significant record of outstanding
contributions in paleontology, especially those aspects of
paleontology that bear on a major objective of this Society which
Professor Moore helped to establish, that is, to promote the science
of stratigraphy through research in paleontology and evolution, and
the use of fossils for interpretations of paleoecology. Recognition is
not to be limited to members of the Society or other professional
organizations, nor to citizens of any one country. Recipients of the
Moore Medal are eligible as later nominees for the Twenhofel Medal.

Francis J.
Pettijohn Medal for Sedimentology
The Francis J.
Pettijohn Medal for Sedimentology is awarded in recognition of
"Excellence in Sedimentology."
Nominees for the medal
will be persons who have a significant record of outstanding
contributions in sedimentary geology, including all aspects of
sedimentology and stratigraphy. Recognition is not to be limited to
members of the Society or other professional organizations, nor to
citizens of any one country. Recipients of the Pettijohn Medal are
eligible as later nominees for the Twenhofel Medal.

James Lee
Wilson Award for Sedimentary Geology
The James Lee Wilson
Award is bestowed in recognition of "Excellence in Sedimentary Geology
by a Young Scientist."
Nominees for the award
will be less than or equal to 40 years of age or within 5 years of
their highest degree at the time of their nomination, who have achieved a
significant record of research accomplishments in sedimentary geology,
including all aspects of modern and ancient sedimentology,
stratigraphy, and paleontology, fundamental and applied. Recognition
is not to be limited to members of the Society or other professional
organizations, nor to citizens of any one country. Because the
Twenhofel Medal represents SEPM's highest award and eclipses other
medals currently awarded by the SEPM. Twenhofel Medalists will not be
considered as nominees for the James Lee Wilson Award, but recipients
of the latter will be eligible for the Twenhofel Medal.
