Download or read book Understanding Fossils written by Peter Doyle and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first introductory palaeontology text which demonstrates the importance of selected fossil groups in geological and biological studies, particularly in understanding evolutionary patterns, palaeoenvironmental analysis, and stratigraphy. Part one explores several key concepts, such as the processes of fossil preservation, the determination of evolutionary patterns, and use of fossils and statigraphical tools. Part two introduces the main fossil groups of value in these applied fields. Part three concentrates on the examination of important case histories which demonstrate the use of fossils in diverse practical examples. Evolutionary studies, palaeoenvironmental analysis, and stratigraphical applications are documented using up-to-date examples supported by overviews of the principles.
Download or read book Trilobites of New York written by Thomas Edward Whiteley and published by Comstock Publishing Associates. This book was released on 2002 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Trilobites are the most lifelike of fossils--many well-preserved specimens belie their great antiquity and seem almost ready to arch their bodies, peer about with their compound eyes, and crawl forward as if to complete a journey that was interrupted hundreds of millions of years ago."--from the Foreword"New York State is and has long been a magnet for trilobite hunters.... New York's trilobites were among the first illustrated fossils in North America.... Many outstanding localities in New York State, from the majestic Ordovician limestone bluffs of Trenton Falls, to the Silurian beds in the great gorge of Niagara River, to the Devonian shale cliffs of Lake Erie, continue to yield abundant and spectacular trilobite fossils. New York strata have also yielded more trilobites with preserved appendages and other "soft parts" than almost any other region of the world.... Spectacular, ornate trilobites from New York ranging from a few millimeters to nearly a half meter in length, are featured in museums all over the world."--from the PrefaceThis superbly illustrated book reviews the trilobite fossils found throughout New York State, including their biology, methods of taphonomy (preservation of specimens), and the broader Paleozoic geology of the state. A general chapter on the geology of New York State places the importance of these now-extinct invertebrate marine animals into context. Sixty-seven line drawings and 175 black-and-white photographs illustrate individual species, many represented here by type specimens, and display the eerie beauty that has made New York State trilobites favorites of collectors the world over.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides practical morphological information, together with detailed illustrations and concise texts explaining each entry. The book details the morphological characters of each organism, providing fundamental information for palaeontologists and palaeobiologists alike. Each chapter starts with a brief introduction and goes on to describe the organism’s morphology in detail, followed by a brief note on classification and lastly illustrated examples of stratigraphically important organisms through time along with their major distinguishing characters. The book includes over 3000 clearly labelled, hand-drawn and classroom-friendly illustrations of over 1200 species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preliminary Report Upon Invertebrate Fossils: Collected by the Expeditions of 1871, 1872, and 1873, With Descriptions of New Species Length of the body in proportion with the width variable; in some specimens (perhaps broken ones) the length and width being about equal, while in others the length is two or three times as great as the width. The width, in different specimens, varies from three and a half to upward of four centimeters. Position and locality. - Same as the last. Brachiopoda. Genus Acrotreta Kutorga. Acrotreta? Subsidua (sp. nov.) - Shell thin, corneous, discoid, subcircular or slightly suboval in outline, the transverse diameter being a trifle greater than the longitudinal; sides regularly and front broadly rounded; posterior margin slightly straightened, forming a comparatively short, slightly convex, or nearly straight hinge-line. Dorsal valve nearly flat; beak marginal, not prominent. Interior with a slightly-raised median ridge, beginning beneath the beak, and extending to about the middle of the valve, where it disappears; impressions of the posterior adductor muscles small and placed nearly beneath the beak, one on each side of the median ridge; between these muscular impressions and the posterior margin there is, at each side, an obscure diverging ridge or fold. Ventral valve moderately convex in the umbonal region, but more flattened anteriorly; apex excentric, somewhat prominent and minutely perforate; adductor impressions small and placed in the apex close to the foramen, one at each side of it. One of the specimens shows a slight flattening of the triangular space between the apex and the hinge-line, which appears like an indistinctly-defined cardinal area. This shell differs so widely in shape from the typical forms of Acrotreta, although it seems to possess its other essential characteristics, that I have referred it only provisionally to that genus. Length of the largest specimen, six millimeters; width, seven millimeters. Position and locality. - Strata probably of the epoch of the Potsdam Sandstone, Antelope Spring, House range, Utah. Genus Trematis Sharpe. Trematis Pannulus (sp. nov.) - Shell small, subcircular; ventral valve moderately convex; apex prominent, excentric; surface marked by a very fine net-work of oblique, raised lines, dividing it up into minute four-sided pore-like pits, which cause it to resemble, under a lens, finelywoven cloth. Diameter of the valve, about three millimeters. Position and locality. - Shales of the Potsdam epoch, Pioche, Nevada. Pteropoda. Genus Hyolithes Eichwald. Hyolithes Primordialis Hall? - The collection contains specimens of a Hyolithes from the shales of the Potsdam epoch at Pioche, Nev., that seem to differ too little from H. primordialis Hall, from the strata of the same epoch in Wisconsin, to warrant a full specific separation from it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The leading textbook in its field, this work applies paleobiological principles to the fossil record while detailing the evolutionary history of major plant and animal phyla. It incorporates current research from biology, ecology, and population genetics. Written for biology and geology undergrads, the text bridges the gap between purely theoretical paleobiology and solely descriptive invertebrate paleobiology books, emphasizing the cataloguing of live organisms over dead objects. This third edition revises art and research throughout, expands the coverage of invertebrates, includes a discussion of new methodologies, and adds a chapter on the origin and early evolution of life.
