Book synopsis

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.

• Covers the evolution of fossil groups and accompanying data in deep time, improving insights into geological development
• Provides concise overview and data on index taxa and zonation in major fossil groups, allowing for the understanding of spatial and temporal distribution of rock units
• Aligns with the linear Geological Time Scale for continuity of major events, such as mass extinctions and significant changes in Earth's environments
