Alcheringa (journal)

Alcheringa: An Australasian Journal of Palaeontology is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of palaeontology and its ramifications into the Earth and biological sciences, especially the disciplines of taxonomy, biostratigraphy, micropalaeontology, vertebrate palaeontology, palaeobotany, palynology, palaeobiology, palaeoanatomy, palaeoecology, biostratinomy, biogeography, chronobiology, biogeochemistry and palichnology.

It is the official journal of the Association of Australasian Palaeontologists and is published by Taylor & Francis.

"Alcheringa" (also spelled altjeringa) is the popularised English version of an Arrernte expression that means "in the beginning" or "from all eternity".

[1] Alcheringa is also the name given to a 2.7-2.8 billion-year-old stromatolite from the Pilbara region of Western Australia[2] and symbolises the antiquity of life and its record in sedimentary rocks.
