Fossil Imprint

Aims & Scope

Fossil Imprint (formerly Acta Musei Nationalis Pragae, Series B – Historia Naturalis) is an international, open access journal, publishing original papers and reviews of any length from all areas of paleontology and related disciplines, such as palaeoanthropology, biostratigraphy, palynology, and archaeobotany/zoology.

All taxonomic groups are treated, including plants, invertebrates, vertebrates, microfossils, and ichnofossils, with a special emphasis on terrestrial and post-Palaeozoic marine biota.

We encourage the publication of international meetings as well as special thematic issues.

The aim of the journal is to spread the scientific knowledge with no restrictions, and to allow access to it to any interested person.

Each article includes information about the date of receiving, accepting and issue.
