Download or read book Modern and Ancient Fluvial Systems written by J. D. Collinson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-04-15 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book of research articles focused on fluvial processes The book is divided into a several main sections for ease of reference: Hydrodynamics and Bedforms; Present?Day Channel Processes; Facies Models; and Economic Aspects. Geographical and geological investigations are also described in Modern and Ancient Fluvial Systems. Research articles include the topics of bedforms and structures near the transition between dunes and a plane bed, as well as the vertical and lateral relationships between five major delta distributary channels. Research papers are also shared within the publication, such as a review of the major developments in the study of channel changes during this century. The individual chapter authors take readers from the Colorado Plateau of the Western United States to the Witwatersrand of South Africa.

Download or read book Eocene Biodiversity written by Gregg F. Gunnell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initially, this work was designed to document and study the diversification of modern mammalian groups and was quite successful and satisfying. However, as field and laboratory work continued, there began to develop a suspicion that not all of the Eocene story was being told. It became apparent that most fossil samples, especially those from the American West, were derived from similar preservational circumstances and similar depositional settings. A program was initiated to look for other potential sources of fossil samples, either from non-traditional lithologies or from geographic areas that were not typically sampled. As this program of research grew it began to demonstrate that different lithologies and different geographic areas told different stories from those that had been developed based on more typical faunal assemblages. This book is conceived as an introduction to non-traditional Eocene fossils samples, and as a place to document and discuss features of these fossil assemblages that are rare or that come from rarely represented habitats.
Download or read book The Platyrrhine Fossil Record written by John G. Fleagle and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Platyrrhine Fossil Record is a compendium of papers presented in a symposium of the 12th Congress of the International Congress of Primatology held in Brazil. One paper reviews evidence from fossil platyrrhines where the author concludes new dating and environmental data where these animals lived. Another paper describes the major changes pertaining to South American mammalian fauna during the Cenozoic Era, which he relates to global and regional geotectonic changes. Other papers review the paleontology and geology of the Miocene Pintura Formation and reassess the morphological transformations traditionally assumed as having been involved in platyrrhine phylogeny. One author also proposes that a prosimian-like ancestor is probably the predecessors of anthropoids; any similarities and primitive mammals can be evolutionary reversals associated with quadrupedal movements. The text also addresses the issue whether anthropoids, including platyrrhines, evolved from a prosimian ancestor or prosimians are just a group with mammalian postcranial skeletal structure. One author also reviews fossil remains found in the Caribbean, citing seven endemic taxa of platyrrhines in Cuba, Hispaniola, and Jamaica. Anthropologists, researchers involved in anatomical sciences, academicians, and administrators whose works are connected with museums of natural history or institutes of primate research will find this collection valuable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent increase in the search for coal has initiated a dramatic growth in sedimentological research on the origin, formation and environment of coal deposition. This publication is concerned with perhaps the most important field of coal research, that of coal environments. This subject involves many interrelated disciplines, including the sedimentology, petrology, geochemistry, palaeobotany and palaeogeography of coal deposits. In the past, workers in these fields have operated independently, and only recently have their research efforts been integrated to provide a more comprehensive understanding of coal depositional environments.
