The Palaeontological Association (PalAss for short) is a charitable organisation based in the UK founded in 1957 for the promotion of the study of palaeontology and allied sciences.
The association publishes two main journals: Palaeontology and Papers in Palaeontology. The latter the successor to the now discontinued Special Papers in Palaeontology. In addition, the association Newsletter is published 3 times per year, and Field Guide to Fossils covering important palaeontological biotas are published in book form.
The Association confers a number of awards, including the President's Award, Hodson Fund for exceptional early-career achievement, President's Medal as a mid-career award, and the organisation's highest award for exceptional lifetime achievement, the Lapworth Medal.
