Paleontology

This collection represents those articles published in PLOS journals on the general topic of Paleontology (the study of fossils and of life forms that existed in past geological periods). The discipline is very broad, overlapping with many fields including biology and geology, and the reported findings span several geological eras. These studies all contribute to expanding our understanding of organisms from multiple phyla. We welcome submissions in this field.
