The table should appear as in the following example:

Tab. 4 Temperature of biotite from pegmatite bodies (Preluca Pegmatite subprovince)

Sample	Oxides (wt %)			Cations (apfu)			X (Mg)	T (°C)
	TiO2	(FeO+Fe2O3)	MgO	Ti	Fetot	Mg
Bit-1	2.49	19.75	7.84	0.284	2.502	1.771	0.414	641

Please submit all of your artwork – photographs, line drawings, etc. – in an electronic format. Name your figure files with "Fig" and the figure number, e.g., Fig1.eps.

Regardless of the application used, when your electronic artwork is finalized, please "save as" or convert the images to one of the following formats:

EPS: Vector drawings. Embed the font or save the text as "graphics".

TIFF: Grayscale photographs (halftones): always use a minimum of 300 dpi.

TIFF: Bitmapped line drawings: use a minimum of 600 dpi.

TIFF: Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (color or grayscale): a minimum of 500 dpi is required.

Black and white graphic with no shading: do not use faint lines and/or lettering and check that all lines and lettering within the figures are legible at final size; vector graphics containing fonts must have the fonts embedded in the files.

Photographs, drawings, or paintings with fine shading: if any magnification is used in the photographs, indicate this by using scale bars within the figures themselves.

Figure lettering: to add lettering, it is best to use Helvetica or Arial (font smaller than 9 pt.); avoid effects such as shading, outline letters, etc.; do not include titles or captions within your illustrations. Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork.

Figure numbering: : all figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals; figures should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order; figure parts should be denoted by lowercase letters (a, b, c, etc.).

Figure captions: each figure should have a concise caption describing accurately what the figure depicts; the format of figure captions is required to be: single-spacing, size 9, Times New Roman, justified; figure captions begin with the term "Fig.", followed by the figure number; no punctuation is to be included after the number, nor is any punctuation to be placed at the end of the caption; identify previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference citation at the end of the figure caption.

Please, produce images near to the desired size of the printed version. The width of artworks should not exceed either 66 mm or 137 mm; the height of the figure should not exceed 190 mm, caption included.

Prior to submit a manuscript, please read carefully the Peer Review section.
