Description

The purpose of Foundations and Applications of Trace Fossils is two-fold. The first goal is to provide a framework to use trace fossils to better interpret the sedimentological, stratigraphic and paleontological record, particularly as integrated with other geological datasets. Secondly, this resource aims to update ichnology research to reflect recent developments. Foundations and Applications of Trace Fossils presents introductory materials including the history of ichnology, the conceptual framework, and key definitions. In addition, the book introduces modern topics such as neoichnology and process ichnology. Using this foundational information, the multidisciplinary audience can solve sedimentological, paleontological and paleoenvironmental problems using ichnology. Discusses the connection between ichnology and other geological disciplines Summarizes the basic concepts and frameworks of trace fossil research Introduces modern ichnological topics and definitions
