GSC Guide to Authors Notes for format of publications
- In the table of contents at the beginning of each paleontological publication,
all the genera in the systematics section should be listed in the order in
which they appear.
- Full page groups of photographs or photomicrographs are called 'Plates';
subordinate or individual illustrations within a plate are called 'figures'.
Where practical, figures should be grouped and numbered in sequence according
to the taxonomic order in the systematic descriptions. Figure numbers should
be assigned in a logical sequence, and applied to an overlay rather than directly
on the plate. All other illustrations of paleontological (less than page size)
or other material are called 'Figures'.
- When in simple tabular form, distribution or occurrence charts should be
called 'Tables'. Illustrations in the text should be referred to as 'Figures',
with a capital F, to distinguish them from the 'figures' (lower case f) in
the 'Plates'.
