Produktinformationen zu „Trace Fossil Analysis “
This definitive textbook by a renowned field observer and analyst of trace fossils concentrates on the most distinctive examples, mostly made by infaunal invertebrates in originally soft sediments. It covers the whole geologic column and ranges from deep-sea to shallow-marine and continental environments. The book is designed to foster interpretative skills using the author's own drawings. They are thematically grouped in 75 plates that form the core for the descriptive text and annotated references. A glossary of ichnological terms is also provided. This book's author is perhaps the world's most acknowledged expert in the field of trace fossils.
Klappentext zu „Trace Fossil Analysis “
Trace fossils, geologically recorded indicators of the behavior of organisms, have become the subject of the field ichnology.The field s growing impact derives from the intimate connections between ichnology and sedimentology, and their combined relevance for paleoenvironmental and basin analysis and petroleum exploration. Moreover, an organism s reaction to changing conditions is the most important tool for the reconstruction of ancient environments. This definitive textbook by a seminal practitioner and theorist concentrates on the more distinctive and representative ichogenera while focuses primarily on structures left invertebrates in soft sediments. Seilacher's Trace Fossils is crafted to impart and develop interpretive skills via 75-core figures drawn by the author, around which the descriptive text and annotated bibliographies append. The plates represent trace fossils from various facies from the deep sea to shorelines. Fossil records of trace fossils are described, interpreted and their paleoecological meaning highlighted, while a glossary concludes the book.
