Painting a complete picture of the history of the Everglades, The
Geology of the Everglades and Adjacent Areas brings together
theperspectives of various geoscientists to provides an overview of
the geology, paleontology, and paleoceanography of the Everglades
region. It emphasizes the upper 300 m of the geologic framework of
the area and gives insight into the local stratigraphy,
geomorphology, lithology, and historical geology. Building upon the
geologic nomenclature and stratigraphic sequences set down by the
Florida Geological Survey, the book includes redefinitions of some
previously poorly known formations, the chronological fine-tuning
of other poorly known units, and the description of 7 new members.
Designed to be a field guide as well as a reference, the book is
illustrated with photographs of exposed geologic sections,
stratotype localities, collection sites, and details of interesting
fossil beds. It contains 124 full-page illustrations with 69 black
and white figures, 43 black and white plates of index fossils, and
12 full color plates of simulated space shuttle images of Florida's
ancient seas and coastlines. This text is accompanied by
downloadable resources that feature animated maps along with a
Power Point presentation of simulated space shuttle imagery of
Eocene-to-Holocene Florida. The book is arranged by geologic time,
ranging from the late Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, Pliocene, and
Pleistocene to the Holocene. The authors place lithostratigraphic
descriptions of the geologic formations and members into this
chronological framework, along with the paleogeography of the seas
and lakes within which they were deposited. They also emphasize
biostratigraphy with over 1000 index fossils listed and over 400
illustrated. The book brings together information previously spread
through innumerable publications, saving you the time and effort it
would take to assemble and cross-reference multiple sources.
