>The rich fossil record of the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains
of the United States is a gold mine for interested scientists. The
last thirty million years of Earth history are superbly chronicled
by a succession of fossil assemblages extending from the St.
Lawrence River to Florida. Marine scientists, paleontologists, and
systematic biologists alike need a thorough guide to interpret this
history. Cenozoic Seas: The View from Eastern North America
analyzes the changing geography, the arrival and departures of
ecosystems and species, and the affect of climate on living things.
The author classifies all of the region's fossil-bearing formations
and their contents within a logical, descriptive framework of space
and time, providing a clear path for those studying evolution and
extinction within specific communities of organisms. The book is
also an excellent field guide for fossil collectors, providing
detailed information for all species illustrated. Many organisms
have never before been illustrated in a book on fossil shells.
