Aims and Scope

Papers in Palaeontology is devoted to the publication of papers that document the diversity of past life and its distribution in time and space. As a sister publication to Palaeontology its focus is on descriptive research, including the descriptions of new taxa, systematic revisions of higher taxa, detailed biostratigraphical and biogeographical documentation, and descriptions of floras and faunas from specific localities or regions. Most contributions are expected to be less than 30 pp long but longer contributions will be considered if the material merits it, including single topic parts.

The journal publishes a wide variety of papers on palaeontological topics covering:

palaeozoology

palaeobotany

systematic studies

palaeoecology

micropalaeontology

palaeobiogeography
