About the journal
Founded in 1986, PALAIOS is a bimonthly journal dedicated to emphasizing the impact of life on Earth history as recorded in the paleontological and sedimentological records. PALAIOS serves to disseminate information to an international spectrum of geologists interested in a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to: biogeochemistry, ichnology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, paleoecology, paleoclimatology, and paleoceanography. PALAIOS welcomes contributions that emphasize using paleontology to answer any number of important geologic and biologic questions that further our understanding of Earth history.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Founded in 1986, Palaios is a bimonthly journal dedicated to emphasizing the impact of life on Earth¡¯s history as recorded in the paleontological and sedimentological records. Palaios disseminates information to an international spectrum of geologists interested in a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to: biogeochemistry, ichnology, paleoclimatology, paleoecology, paleoceanography, sedimentology, and stratigraphy.
Palaios publishes papers that elucidate the applications of paleontology to solving diverse geologic problems. Palaios therefore welcomes contributions that emphasize using paleontology to answer any number of important geologic and biologic questions that further our understanding of Earth history. Accordingly, manuscripts whose subject matter and conclusions have broad geologic implications, rather than narrowly focused discourses, will be selected for publication. Moreover, Palaios welcomes original contributions to research and discourages papers that already have had substantial parts of their conclusions or data published elsewhere. Given that the purpose of Palaios is to generate enthusiasm for paleontology among a broad spectrum of readers, the editor requests: titles that interest; abstracts that emphasize conclusions; illustrations of professional caliber used in place of words; and lively, yet scholarly, text.
MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES
Palaios has a varied format in each issue that accommodates several types of manuscripts. The following are the formats that are used in Palaios:
1) ONLINE: usually 1-2 published pages (5-10 ms pages), invited editorial contribution;
2) Research Reports: usually 10-15 published pages (30-45 ms pages), comprehensive research papers;
3) Research Letters: usually 2-5 published pages (10-20 ms pages) or less, preliminary reports of significant discoveries, brief research notes on new methods and/or instrumentation, or short reports on topics of interest to the Palaios readership;
4) Book Reviews: usually 1-2 published pages (5-10 ms pages), in-depth reviews of selected books and;
5) Comments and Replies: readers' responses to papers in previous issues, author¡¯s replies to comments.
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
Please follow ALL of the instructions to authors below. Manuscripts in improper format may be sent back to authors for reformatting prior to review.
When properly formatted, send THREE unbound copies of a prospective manuscript to the editor, each with a complete set of illustrations. One set of illustrations should be suitable for printing, and two clear xerographic copies should be suitable for reviewers. Photo reproductions must be clear.

FIGURES
Palaios does not publish plates or illustrations; all artwork and photos are called Figures. Palaios aims for exceptionally high quality in all published Figures. Authors are advised to examine previous issues of Palaios for examples of acceptable Figures. Figures should be used in place of words wherever possible, but must be essential to the aim of the paper.
Figures MUST be submitted in one column (3.25 " [8.25 cm]) or two-column format (7" [17.5 cm]).
Figures and Figure captions in which more than one illustration is used should be labeled with CAPITAL letters (e.g., Fig. 3A, B, C, etc.). This applies to both the Figure and Figure caption.
Each Figure must be referred to in the text, spelled out in full or, where parenthetical, abbreviated. For example, "The trends illustrated in Figure 6 are manifested in bivariate plots (Fig. 7A, B), time-series (Figs. 8¨C10), and surface trends (Figs. 11A, 12)."
Indicate the approximate position of each Figure in the right margin of the manuscript. Label each Figure on the back with journal name, author name(s), and Figure Number.
Figures in which photographs are used should be on glossy photo paper, high contrast, and high resolution (if printed from a computer, at least 400 dpi, 600 dpi preferred). Figures consisting of line illustrations may be submitted as high-quality laser-printed images (1200 dpi) or PMT's.
ONLY after a paper is accepted for publication may electronic figures be submitted. Authors MUST obtain permission to reprint previously published illustrations, AND submit a copy of this permission with the copyrighted Figure to be printed.
Authors pay all page costs for color Figures. Contact the editorial office for more information about publishing Figures in color (palaios@indiana.edu).
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT PROTOCOL
Upon acceptance of a manuscript in Palaios, authors must provide the Editorial Office with two hard copies of the manuscript, two sets of figures acceptable for publishing, and an electronic final copy, saved as MSWord (for Windows or Mac), or as an RTF file. Other formats may not translate, and may introduce errors into the manuscript. Electronic copy can be sent on 1.44 disk, CD-R, CD-R/W, or ZIP 100 or 250 disk. Figures and Tables may be submitted on the same disk, if there is room. If not, send separate disks as needed.
LABEL your electronic media with PALAIOS, author name (s), title of MS.
Electronic Figures MUST be saved as TIFF, EPS, or PDF files.
Line art must be saved at 1200 dpi.
Photographs must be saved at a resolution of at least 400 dpi, 600 dpi preferred
ELECTRONIC SUPPLEMENTS
SEPM maintains a Palaios home page that includes Tables of Contents, Abstracts, and key figures from each paper published in the journal. Authors are encouraged to submit supplementary material that may not be easily accommodated in print format (owing to space and technological limitations) to be placed on the website. This could include large data tables, color graphics, animation, and/or interactive tools. Contact the Editorial Office for additional information concerning file-format, procedures, and other questions.
PAGE PROOFS
Authors will receive page proofs directly from Allen Press. Therefore, all authors must provide a street address for page proofs to be delivered to. Authors are expected to read proofs very carefully. Authors also will receive Transfer of Copyright forms with page proofs. All page proofs and signed Transfer of Copyright are to be returned as soon as possible to the Editorial Office (Authors of ONLINEs, Book Reviews, and "Comment and Reply" will not receive proofs; these contributions may be modified at the discretion of the Editorial Office).
REPRINTS
Reprints can be ordered on a form supplied with the page proofs. SEPM members receive a discount on reprints from Allen Press if they request the discount on the original order form. The Editorial Office does not handle reprint orders.
PAGE-CHARGE CONTRIBUTIONS
Contributions of $150 per page will be solicited from the authors, although ability to contribute will not be a factor in editorial decisions. Page-charges contributions are important to Palaios and to SEPM, because they keep membership costs within reach of students and professionals. Authors are urged to consider all avenues of possible financial support, including contributions.
