Download or read book Atlas of Trace Fossils in Well Core written by Dirk Knaust and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides readers with a well-balanced blend of high-quality photographs, figures and accompanying texts on the identification of trace fossils, both in core and in outcrop. Ichnological data has become increasingly important in sedimentological and paleoenvironmental interpretations, not only in the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons but also in the characterization of aquifers and in scientific drilling. Following an introduction to the study of trace fossils in core and an outline of ichnological basics, principles and concepts, the book provides detailed descriptions and interpretations of 39 trace fossils (ichnogenera) and associated features (such as bioturbate texture, plant roots and their traces, borings and pseudo-trace fossils) commonly encountered in well cores and in outcrop. The trace fossils are highlighted by their expression in well cores and illustrated with carefully prepared, eye-catching core photographs. This unique information is complemented by examples of trace fossils in outcrop, as well as relevant key figures from the literature. Each description is presented in a consistent manner, stating the ichnogenus name and author in the title, followed by sections on the morphology and size, ichnotaxonomy, substrate, appearance in core, similar trace fossils, producers, ethology, depositional environment, ichnofacies, age, and reservoir quality. An extensive list of references per chapter for further reading rounds out the book, which is based on the author’s continuous work with trace fossils in core over the past two decades.

Book excerpt: This book serves as an up-to-date introduction, as well as overview to modern trace fossil research and covers nearly all of the essential aspects of modern ichnology. Divided into three section, Trace Fossils covers the historical background and concepts of ichnology, on-going research problems, and indications about the possible future growth of the discipline and potential connections to other fields. This work is intended for a broad audience of geological and biological scientists. Workers new to the field could get a sense of the main concepts of ichnology and a clear idea of how trace fossil research is conducted. Scientists in related disciplines could find potential uses for trace fossils in their fields. And, established workers could use the book to check on the progress of their particular brand of ichnology. By design, there is something here for novice and veteran, insider and outsider, and for the biologically-oriented workers and for the sedimentary geologists.* Presents a review of the state of ichnology at the beginning of the 21st Century* Summarizes the basic concepts and methods of modern trace fossil research* Discusses crucial background information about the history of trace fossil research, the main concepts of ichnology, examples of current problems and future directions, and the potential connections to other disciplines within both biology and geology

Book excerpt: In 1971 I published a review of ichnology other concentrating only on traces made (Houston AAPG: SEPM Trace Fossil Field by a certain group of organisms, regardless Trip Guidebook) that I thought could be of their setting. Nevertheless, needless re dundancy has hopefully been eliminated. expanded rather easily into a worthwhile Some of the chapters are more special book on the subject.

Download or read book Continental Trace Fossils written by Stephen T. Hasiotis and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The type, distribution, and tiering of continental tracefossils (ichnofossils) are useful tools for deciphering continental environments in both outcrop and core. This atlas presents the latest ichnological concepts and provides a comprehensive photocatalogue of nearly the entire suite of major terrestrial and freshwater trace fossils that geoscientists will encounter. The book is separated into two sections: 1) concepts and fundamental principles that explain how terrestrial and freshwater trace fossil behavior is interpreted and used to define environments of deposition; and 2) a photocatalogue of outcrop and core examples of continental trace fossils with explanations and idealized line drawings. The trace fossils are illustrated with idealized line drawings as seen in outcrop and in core. Color photographs are used to show the trace fossils as hand specimens, in outcrop, and core from different geologic formations and ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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

Download or read book Ichnology written by Luis A. Buatois and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-08-11 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ichnology is the study of traces created in the substrate by living organisms. This is the first book to systematically cover basic concepts and applications in both paleobiology and sedimentology, bridging the gap between the two main facets of the field. It emphasizes the importance of understanding ecologic controls on benthic fauna distribution and the role of burrowing organisms in changing their environments. A detailed analysis of the ichnology of a range of depositional environments is presented using examples from the Precambrian to the recent, and the use of trace fossils in facies analysis and sequence stratigraphy is discussed. The potential for biogenic structures to provide valuable information and solve problems in a wide range of fields is also highlighted. An invaluable resource for researchers and graduate students in paleontology, sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy, this book will also be of interest to industry professionals working in petroleum geoscience.

Download or read book The Palaeobiology of Trace Fossils written by S. K. Donovan and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ichnology--the study of trace fossils such as tracks, burrows, and eggs--presents the scientist with "a jigsaw puzzle with a difference," writes Stephen Donovan. While body fossils of organisms are generally recognizable as belonging to a particular organic group, he explains, trace fossils are usually anonymous. Except in rare cases in which the animal died at the end of its trace, or the trace has an especially distinctive morphology--such as the dinosaur trackway--identifying trace fossils is almost always a matter of some speculation. Nonetheless, lessons learned from the study of trace fossils have proven invaluable in fields ranging from petroleum exploration to palaeoecology. In this volume Donovan brings together a group of the world's leading experts to focus on the palaeoecological and evolutionary aspects of ichnology in both marine and nonmarine environments. In contrast to previous works on ichnology, which have emphasized the importance of trace fossil data to geologists in reconstructing the Earth's history, this book brings to light new information on the biology of the organisms that produced the trackways and the ancient environments in which they flourished.
