Palaeontology, the scientific study of fossils, has developed from
a descriptive science to an analytical science used to interpret
relationships between earth and life history. This book provides a
comprehensive and thematic treatment of applied palaeontology,
covering the use of fossils in the ordering of rocks in time and in
space, in biostratigraphy, palaeobiology and sequence stratigraphy.
Robert Wynn Jones presents a practical workflow for applied
palaeontology, including sample acquisition, preparation and
analysis, and interpretation and integration. He then presents
numerous case studies that demonstrate the applicability and value
of the subject to areas such as petroleum, mineral and coal
exploration and exploitation, engineering geology and environmental
science. Specialist applications outside of the geosciences
(including archaeology, forensic science, medical palynology,
entomopalynology and melissopalynology) are also addressed.
Abundantly illustrated and referenced, Applications of
Palaeontology provides a user-friendly reference for academic
researchers and professionals across a range of disciplines and
industry settings.
