Using fossils to tell geological time, biostratigraphy balances
biology with geology. In modern geochronology - meaning
timescale-building and making correlations between oceans,
continents and hemispheres - the microfossil record of speciations
and extinctions is integrated with numerical dates from radioactive
decay, geomagnetic reversals through time, and the cyclical wobbles
of the earth-sun-moon system. This important modern synthesis
follows the development of biostratigraphy from classical origins
into petroleum exploration and deep-ocean drilling. It explores the
three-way relationship between species of microorganisms, their
environment and their evolution through time as expressed in
skeletons preserved as fossils. This book is essential reading for
advanced students and researchers working in basin analysis,
sequence stratigraphy, palaeoceanography, palaeobiology and related
fields.
