This volume is a collection of papers presented to Professor Tom
Barnard by former students, colleagues and friends to mark
thirty-two years of teaching and research in micropalaeontology at
University College London. This period represents the major part of
Tom Barnard's career with microfossils, which actually began rather
earlier, but in 1949 his first postgraduate students were
registered. Since then some 150 students have worked for higher
degrees studying foraminifera, ostracods, calcareous nannofossils,
dino of Research flagellates and palynomorphs, in company with a
series Assistants and Visiting Scientists. The nature of
micropalaeontology at 'UC' under Tom Barnard has always been
unashamedly biostratigraphical. As a result many students have
entered and continue to enter the petroleum industry, not least of
all because their mentor has always had a pragmatic view of
academic research and its direction. Despite this emphasis, with a
particular attention to Mesozoic foraminifera, a major
investigation of Recent Caribbean foraminiferal faunas has been
carried out and most recently MSc classes have worked with material
from the continental shelf of southern Africa. Work with Mesozoic
ostracods was initiated in 1956 and during the past decade a
growing number of students have concentrated on calcareous
nannofossils. A book sum marising the results of biostratigraphical
work with nannofossils is at present in the press (Lord, A. R. (ed.
) A stratigraphical index of calcareous nanno fossils. Chichester:
Ellis Horwood)."
