From Fossils to Astrobiology reviews developments in paleontology
and geobiology that relate to the rapidly-developing field of
Astrobiology, the study of life in the Universe. Many traditional
areas of scientific study, including astronomy, chemistry and
planetary science, contribute to Astrobiology, but the study of the
record of life on planet Earth is critical in guiding
investigations in the rest of the cosmos. In this varied book,
expert scientists from 15 countries present peer-reviewed,
stimulating reviews of paleontological and astrobiological studies.
The overviews of established and emerging techniques for studying
modern and ancient microorganisms on Earth and beyond, will be
valuable guides to evaluating biosignatures which could be found in
the extraterrestrial surface or subsurface within the Solar System
and beyond. This volume also provides discussion on the
controversial reports of "nanobacteria" in the Martian meteorite
ALH84001. It is a unique volume among Astrobiology monographs in
focusing on fossil evidence from the geological record and will be
valuable to students and researchers alike.
