This full-colour book assembles the proceedings papers of the "5th
International Symposium on Lithographic Limestone and Plattenkalk",
which was held 2009 at the Natural History Museum in Basel
(Switzerland). The contributions are highlights from the Symposium
and they are from active researchers and research groups. They
cover a wide range of topics with the main focus on vertebrate
palaeontology (Mesozoic fishes, sauropterygians, pterosaurs,
artiodactyls) and invertebrate palaeontology (developmental biology
of crustaceans, limulid locomotion, functional morphology of
Saccocoma, trace fossils). In addition to this, other papers focus
on palaeoenvironments and carbonate sedimentology (terminology
& classification, role of microbial mats), as well as
descriptions of new occurrences of Lithographic Limestone and
Plattenkalk (Cambrian of China, Eocene of Croatia). The studied
material includes exceptionally well-preserved fossils, classical
palaeontological approaches (history of palaeontology, taxonomy
with description of several new taxa, faunal reviews, tooth
histology, Relative Warp Analysis, ichnology) and new methods such
as composite-fluorescence imaging microscopy. The high diversity of
these up-to-date papers highlights the importance of
interdisciplinary scientific congresses and studies. Furthermore,
it confirms that Lithographic Limestone and Plattenkalk deposits
are amongst the most important Fossil Lagerstatten in the world and
remain a major source for palaeobiological data. Therefore, the
present book is a must for palaeontologists, palaeobiologists, and
sedimentologists alike that are involved in studies of Lithographic
Limestone and Plattenkalk Fossil Lagerstatten.
