Fossils provide a powerful tool for the study of the nearly
4-billion-year history of life, and its role in the evolution of
Earth systems. They also provide important data for evolutionary
studies, and contribute to our understanding of the extinction of
organisms and the origins of modern biodiversity.
"Fossils At A Glance" is written for students taking an
introductory level course in paleontology. Short chapters introduce
the main topics in the modern study of fossils. The most important
fossil groups are discussed, from microfossils through
invertebrates to vertebrates and plants, followed by a brief
narrative of life on Earth.
Diagrams are central to the book and allow the reader to see
most of the important data "at a glance." Each topic covers two
pages and provides a self-contained suite of information or a
starting point for future study.
This second edition has been thoroughly revised and brought up
to date. It includes new line diagrams as well as photographs of
selected fossils
