Kaseki (meaning Fossils in Japanese) is a peer-reviewed domestic journal written in Japanese, and is published twice a year. It includes not only original papers, but also short notes, comments, thematic overviews, discussions, book reviews, and broadly ranging news of developments and happenings that are of broad interest to paleontologists.

We also publish, at irregular intervals, Special Papers. A Special Paper is dealing with voluminous work of writing on a particular subject on paleontology, and catalogue. It is published irregularly.
