Microfossils

De Wever's ode to the invisible world around us allows readers to peer directly into a minute microcosm with massive implications, even traversing eons to show us how life arose on Earth.

Stratigraphic occurrence, systemic classification, and illustration of plant microfossils.

Description of Carboniferous foraminifers and algae with biostratigraphic zonation, relationship to carbonate facies, comparison with coral distribution, and correlations among northern Alaska, western Europe, and the midcontinent region of North America. One hundred species, of which 2 are new, and 61 genera are described and illustrated.

This is a new and completely rewritten edition of the well-known text Microfossils (first published in 1980) covering all the major microfossil groups, with information on taxonomy, phylogeny, ecology and palaeoecology. particular attention is given to the uses of microfossils in environmental reconstruction and biostratigraphy numerous line and half-tone illustrations emphasis on practical applications of micropalaeontology only student-friendly micropaleontology text available
