Description
Taphonomy: A Process Approach is the first book to review the entire field of taphonomy, or the science of fossil preservation.
It describes the formation of animal and plant fossils in marine and terrestrial settings and how this affects deciphering the ecology and extinction of past lifeforms and the environments in which they lived.
The volume emphasises a process approach to taphonomy and reviews the taphonomic behaviour of all important taxa, plant and animal.
It will be useful to anyone interested in the preservation of fossils and the formation of fossil assemblages, but it is aimed primarily at advanced students and professionals working in paleontology, stratigraphy, sedimentology, climate modeling and biogeochemistry.
