Applied Palaeontology Hardcover - 2006 - 1st Edition

by Robert Wynn Jones


From the publisher

Palaeontology has developed from a descriptive science to an analytical science used to interpret relationships between earth and life history. This book highlights its key role in the study of the evolving earth, life history and environmental processes. After an introduction to fossils and their classification, each of the principal fossil groups are studied in detail, covering their biology, morphology, classification, palaeobiology and biostratigraphy. The latter sections focus on the applications of fossils in the interpretation of earth and life processes and environments.

First line

Palaeontology incorporates several, overlapping, areas, the principal of which are: Systematic palaeontology, or taxonomy, that is, the documentation, description and classification of new species and higher-level taxa of fossils Phylogenetics, that is, the analysis and interpretation of their evolutionary relationships Palaeobiology, that is, the documentation, analysis and interpretation of their relationships to evolving earth and life processes and environments, and their application to the elucidation thereof Biostratigraphy, that is, the documentation, analysis and interpretation of their ordered succession, their relationships to evolving earth and life history, and their application to the elucidation thereof.
