About the Journal
Treatise Online was first established in 2010 with the purpose of providing scholars and researchers early access to current sections of upcoming volumes of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology. There are currently 165 published articles that will become components of the twelve Treatise volumes currently in preparation.
Treatise Online is complemented by the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, an online collection of all 53 previously published volumes of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, available as downloadable PDF files.
Focus and Scope
Treatise Online provides morphologic, taxonomic, systematic, stratigraphic, and biogeographic information/data on organisms comprising all the “invertebrate” phyla with a significant fossil record, as well as certain unicellular organisms, e.g., “Protoctista”, “Protista”, and Eubacteria/Archaea.
