No article on the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology would be complete without first discussing its founder and longest-serving Editor: Raymond Cecil Moore. Moore was a cofounder of the Society for Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists (SEPM), which was formally established in 1927 (Moore, 1940), and he served as one of its first Presidents in 1928. In 1944, a committee of the Paleontological Society, chaired by Benjamin F. Howell of Princeton University, invited Moore to lead a project to develop a textbook on invertebrate paleontology that would update and replace volume 1 of the old Textbook of Palaeontology.

(April 2013) The Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (or TIP) published by the and the Press, is a definitive multi-authored work of some 50, written by more than 300, and covering every, and of and (still living) animals. The prehistoric invertebrates are described as to their, and range. However, genera with no whatsoever have just a very brief listing. Publication of the decades-long Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology is a work-in-progress; and therefore it is not yet complete: For example, there is no volume yet published regarding the post- (a group including the and ). Furthermore, every so often, previously published volumes of the Treatise are revised.

Contents. Evolution of the project , the project's founder and first, originally envisioned this Treatise in as comprising just three large volumes, and totaling only three thousand pages. The project began with work on a few, mostly slim volumes in which a single senior specialist in a distinct field of invertebrate would summarize one particular group. As a result, each publication became a comprehensive compilation of everything known at that time for each group. Examples of this stage of the project are Part G., by (the first volume, published in 1953), and Part P.

Part 2, the by (1955/1956). Around 1959 or 1960, as more and larger invertebrate groups were being addressed, the incompleteness of the then-current state of affairs became apparent. So several senior editors of the Treatise started major research programs to fill in the evident gaps. Consequently, the succeeding volumes, while still maintaining the original format, began to change from being a set of single-authored compilations into being major research projects in their own right. Newer volumes had a committee and a chief editor for each volume, with yet other authors and researchers assigned particular sections.

Collections that had not been previously described were studied; and sometimes new major taxonomic families—and even orders—had to be described. More attention was given to transitional fossils and —eventually producing a much-more complete of. But even in the second set of volumes, the various were still described and organized in a classical sense. The more-recent volumes began to introduce and ideas, along with new developments and discoveries in fields such as, and, so that the current edition of (1997 to 2002) is classified according to a cladistic arrangement, with three and a large number of replacing the original two classes of Articulata and Inarticulata. All these discoveries led to revisions and additional volumes.

Even those taxa already covered were expanded: Books such as those regarding the (vol. F), the Brachiopoda (vol.

H) and the (vol. O) each went from one modest publication to three large volumes. And yet another volume regarding the brachiopods (number five) was published in 2006. Until 2007, the editor of the Treatise was at at the in Lawrence, Kansas. Layout of the articles From the beginning, the character of the Treatise volumes has followed and further developed the pattern of the classic Invertebrate Paleontology written by Moore, Lalicker and Fischer (1953). Following their lead, the Treatise includes in a typical article (a) a description of the basic of the modern members of each invertebrate group, (b) distinctive features of the fossils, (c) a comprehensive illustrated of terms, (d) a short discussion of the evolutionary history of the group, (e) a stratigraphic range chart, done at the level of the major subdivision (lower, middle and upper) of each. This is followed by (f) a listing and technical description of every known genus, along with (g) geographic distribution (usually by continent only, but occasionally by country) and (h) stratigraphic range.

Next come (i) one or two representative illustrated by line drawings (in the early volumes) or by black-and-white (in subsequent volumes), each accompanied by an appropriate reference for that genus. Furthermore, each Treatise article includes (j) the date, authorship, and scientific history of the. Finally, there is (k) a comprehensive bibliography and list of references. Not only that, but the more recent volumes and revisions also include (l) new fossil and phylogenetic discoveries, (m) advances in numerical and cladistic methods, (n) analysis of the group's, (o) its molecular phylogeny, and so on.
