| Summary: | "Taphonomy: A Process Approach is the first book to review the entire field of taphonomy, the science of fossil preservation. It describes the formation of plant and animal fossils in oceanic, terrestrial and river settings and how this effects deciphering the ecology and extinction of past lifeforms and the environments in which they lived." "This book will be useful to anyone interested in the preservation of fossils and the formation of fossil assemblages; it is aimed primarily at advanced students and professionals working in paleontology, stratigraphy, sedimentology, climate modeling and biogeochemistry."--Jacket. |
