Evolution of Fossil Ecosystems

Used Book in Good Condition

The first edition of Evolution of Fossil Ecosystems was widely praised for its coverage and approach in describing and illustrating 14 well-known fossil sites from around the world. The authors have now updated the text and added 6 new chapters with many new color illustrations. Following a general introduction to fossil LagerstÃ¤tten, each chapter deals with a single site and follows the same format: its evolutionary position and significance; its background sedimentology, stratigraphy and palaeoenvironment; a description of the biota and palaeoecology; a comparison with other similar LagerstÃ¤tten; and a list of relevant museums and suggestions for visiting the sites. This study of exceptionally well-preserved fossil sites from different periods in geological time provides a picture of the evolution of ecosystems through the ages.

Covers several sites that are not listed in other Lagerstatten books making this the most comprehensive book on the topic;
Beautifully illustrated throughout with more than 450 color photographs and diagrams;
Provides value to a wide range of students and professionals in palaeontology and related sciences.
