Description
Fossils and Earth Time: Evolution and Biostratigraphy provides a complete picture of micro- and macrofossils, shedding light on their evolution and biostratigraphy throughout the Phanerozoic Era. The book offers a detailed exploration of the diverse fossil groups that have shaped Earth's history and integrates paleontological insights, geological context, and biostratigraphic principles to elucidate the relationship between these fossil assemblages and the Earth's dynamic past. The book explores the significance of these fossils as valuable biostratigraphic tools, enabling precise dating and correlation of sedimentary rocks across different regions and continents. Fossils and Earth Time: Evolution and Biostratigraphy is an up-to-date and detailed resource for students, researchers and professionals working in geology, paleontology, or working on spatial and temporal distribution across Earth’s history.
