Society Publications

From 1973 to 1998, the Society  published  its own micropalaeontographical series: A Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells, (first produced in 1973, edited by Professor Peter Sylvester-Bradley and Dr David Siveter of Leicester University), it also produces an occasional series of field guides.

The BMS produced a circular until 1976, when the Newsletter was inaugurated, as The British Micropalaeontologist, first edited by P.J. Bigg. The newsletter was renamed Newsletter of Micropalaeontology in 1995. The first BMS publication (apart from the A Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells) was A Stratigraphical Index of British Ostracoda (edited by Ray Bate and Eric Robinson) which appeared in 1978 and was published as a Special Issue of Geological Journal. Subsequent volumes have been published as a Special Publications Series, commencing with the Stratigraphical Atlas of Fossil Foraminifera (edited by Graham Jenkins and John Murray) in 1980. These are available to TMS members at discounted rates.

The year 1982 is a milestone in Society history as this saw the initiation of the society's own journal, the Journal of Micropalaeontology, (first edited by Lesley Sheppard). The Journal was initially produced once a year, but since 1984 has become a twice yearly publication of growing international repute. The editor and the editorial board will consider for publication original papers and review articles dealing with all aspects of Micropalaeontology.
