Description
This volume presents state-of-the-art papers on important topics and methods in the analysis of vertebrate microfossil assemblages.
The minute remains of animals and plants have proven very useful to paleontologists as tools for dating large fossils, describing the environments which existed at the time the fossils were deposited, and identifying and mapping the extent of local floras and faunas, among other things.
Due to the large sample sizes that can be obtained, the chance to recover rare taxa is much higher than it is during a search for skeletal remains.
Analysis of the data produced from microvertebrate localities can address a wide range of questions as these papers clearly demonstrate.
