Evolution of Fossil Ecosystems describes all of the main Fossil
Lagerstatten (sites of exceptional fossil preservation) from around
the world in a chronological order. It covers the history of
research, stratigraphy and taphonomy, main faunal and floral
elements, and the palaeoecology of each site and gives a comparison
with coeval sites around the world. It includes all of the
well-known fossil sites, such as the Burgess Shale, the Solnhofen
Limestone, Mazon Creek, Rancho La Brea etc., and includes an
appendix giving information on how to visit the sites and where to
see the fossils in museum displays.
Available now in its second edition, Lagerstatten included for
the first time include Chengjiang, the Herefordshire Nodules and
the Jehol Group. A welcome addition to the list of important
localities of Cenozoic age is the White River Group, which
preserves the finest examples of mammals around the
Eocene-Oligocene boundary, including many now-extinct groups.
The book is beautifully illustrated throughout with over 450
colour photographs and diagrams, and it is extensively referenced.
Evolution of Fossil Ecosystems is essential reading to a wide range
of students and professionals in palaeontology and related
sciences, and to amateur enthusiasts.
