This new and significantly updated authored dictionary is a unique
glossary of paleontological terms, taxa, localities, and concepts.
It focuses primarily on identifying the most significant groups of
fossil animals and plants in relation to their evolution and
phylogeny. It also focuses on mass extinctions, on taxa that are
problematic in some significant way, on the principal
fossil-Lagerstatten of the world, and on historical turning points
marked by index fossils. Although there are many current resources
on the subject, none contains an accurate representation of the
paleontological lexicon. Although well aware that the fast-changing
field of paleontology will always defy any attempt at complete
description, the author has attempted to provide an accurate and
comprehensive set of about 4,000 entries that will be useful to
professionals as well as to general readers of scientific
literature without a background in paleontology.
