About the journal
Geobios is a journal of general palaeontology, it includes articles on biodiversity, evolution, biostratigrapyhy, stratigraphy, paleogeography and paleobiology, provided they are of interest to the international scientific community.
Early in 2000, the journal became the official organ of the European Paleontological Association (EPA).
It publishes 6 issues per annum, and occasionally supplements devoted to one specific theme

PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS FOR GEOBIOS
GEOBIOS considers original manuscripts of international rank on paleontology (systematics, taphonomy, evolution, paleobiology, biostratigraphy, paleoecology, paleobiogeography). Manuscripts should be mailed to GEOBIOS. If they are consistent with instructions below, papers will be sent to two referees (authors are requested to propose three to four names and addresses of potential referees), then to an official adviser if the two referees are in disagreement. In this case the editorial adviser will decide of the opportunity of publication. The direction of GEOBIOS will inform authors of referee’s comments. The total length of a paper should not exceed 30 printed pages, including illustrations and references. For papers longer than the normal size, or papers with numerous photos, a financial support will be asked for to authors. Long papers can be published as a supplement to the journal.
TEXT: papers should be written in French, English, Spanish or German. The original and two complete copies of the manuscript should be submitted together. Papers should be typed on one side of a paper of international A4 size, without extras nor erasures. Double spacing of lines is required. There should be a 4 cm-left-hand-margin. After acceptance and last corrections of the manuscript, GEOBIOS accepts texts on 3?1/2 diskettes or CD using ASCII, TXT, RTF, MS WORD.DOC (v. 8.0, 6.0), WORD PERFECT.WP (v. 3, 5, 6), WORD pour WIN 2.0.
The title of the article and its translation (in French, German or Spanish), the author’s name, usual first name and affiliation should be on the first title page. The entire manuscript should be paginated with the title page. The title must be as short and concise as possible, with indications about the fossil group, the age and the geographic area. A concise abstract should summarize results of the paper. Abstract should be written in English and French and a third one, in author’s language may be added. Keywords (no more than 6) are given in English and in French. The entire manuscript should be typewritten in small letters. Only names of genera and species are underlined. The author’s names of taxa are in capitals. In the text, references should be as follows: Lathuilière 1982; Delvolv?& Laveine 1986; Courel et al. 1979; Goujet in Babin et al. 1977. Footnotes should be avoided; generally it is possible to incorporate information in the main text as discrete paragraph in smaller type. Only the metric system should be used. In French, numeral data are with comma. Authors have to follow the rules of the International Codes of Botanical and Zoological Nomenclature. Types and illustrated fossils should be registered and deposited in an appropriate permanent institution; the registered numbers and the name of the institution should be quoted. Abbreviations for new taxa are nov. gen., nov. sp., etc. Synonymy lists should be restricted to important citations. Figure and plate numbers that were originally given in roman numerals are always transliterated into arabic numerals.
Examples:
1921 Andriopora limax - Lang, p. 97, pl. 3, fig. 3.
1974 Ataxioceras desmoides Wegele - Schairer, p. 73, pl. 9, fig. 8.
REFERENCES: all literature citations in the text, but only these ones, should be presented alphabetically and chronologically by author. When a reference has been translated or transliterated, the original language should be indicated in brackets. All references will be given in extenso; abbreviated titles are not allowed. For a book, give the name of the publisher followed by the place of publication. Unpublished works, e.g. dissertations or others, should indicate all the informations for their availability; they are indicated as “unpublished"

ILLUSTRATIONS: all drawings, diagrams, tables and illustrations in the text, including photos, are numbered as figures. Each illustration should be given separately and identified by its number and the name of the author, and should have English and French captions, or in the author’s language and in English. Illustrations should be referred to in the text. Their placement should be indicated in the left-hand margin of the text. The final size of the text figures is imperatively 82 x 220 mm for a full single column, or 170 x 220 mm for a full page. Fold-out are not acceptable. Drawings and tables should be ready for reproducing. Original drawings in black indian ink on good quality white support should be submitted. GEOBIOS accepts figures on 3?1/2 diskettes or CD using TIFF, GIF, EPS, MacPICT, JPEG et PCD. Figures, tables and diagrams on transparencies are not accepted. Only figures and tables printed on white paper are considered. Linear black scales should be used on each figure. The lettering should be in the language of the manuscript; the same kind of lettering should be used throughout and their size should not be less than 1 mm high after reduction. See: Collinson C. 1962 - Size of lettering for text-figures. Journal of Paleontology, 36: 1402. The lettering should be prepared on an electric typewritter using a carbon ribbon, or with instant lettering; lettering and tables with a dot-matrix printer are not accepted. When several illustrations on a same text-figure, each should be designated by a number.
Photos are numbered as figures, and instructions are the same as for other illustrations. They must be ready for reproduction and submitted at the publication size. Photographs should be mounted on a limp bristol board (no more than 140 gr.). GEOBIOS accepts photos on 3?1/2 diskettes or CD using TIFF, GIF, EPS, MacPICT, JPEG et PCD. Photographs should be clear and sharply contrasted and of the same tonality in a given plate. Avoid too much white and black bottom. Spaces between photos must be regular. Each photograph is numbered with arabic numeral. Explanations should not exceed the printed area of a page. They should be adequate, informative, including the magnification of each figure and the museum number of the specimens. GEOBIOS publishes color figures with a financial support. When figures are not in agreement with the instructions, or not carefully done, manuscripts will be immediately returned to the author.
PROOFS: authors will receive one set of proofs. In case of two or more authors, please indicate the corresponding author. The author is asked to check the proofs for typographic errors. GEOBIOS will not accept new material in proofs. Author’s corrections will be invoiced. Authors are requested to return proofs within two weeks to ensure uninterrupted processing; in case of author’s failure the proof will be corrected by the editorial board.
