Download or read book Fossils of the Chalk written by Ellis Owen and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1987 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TheChalk, a charateristic white limestone deposited across much of northern Europe during the Upper Cretaceous, contains a remarkably diverse and well preserved fossil fauna. Previously, descriptions of this important fauna were scattered throughout numerous specialist monographs. Here for the first time this book provides a pocket-scized field guide to the identification of the almost complete range of macrofossils likely to be encountered in the Chalk of Britain. Following a brief introduction there are 11 chapters each dealing with a specific fossil group, ranging from sponges to dinosaurs, and written by individual specialists. Almost 400 species are illustrated photographically in 59 plates and each is accompanied by a brief diagnosis to aid identification together with notes on its stratigraphical range and distribution. Numerous other species comparable with those illustrated are also discussed in the text and their diagnostic differences noted. In addition each chapter provides a guide to the more important monographs and specialist publications where a fuller account of each group might be found.

Download or read book The Palaeontological Association Field Guide to Fossils Fossils of the Oxford Clay written by David M. Martill and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1993 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jurassic Oxford Clay, the major source of brick clay in the United Kingdom, contains a diverse and exceptionally well preserved fauna. Historically it has provided the basis for Brinkmann's now classic work on ammonite evolution, and furnished the Leeds brothers with the finest collection of marine reptiles ever assembled. Only now have descriptions of the entire fauna been available in a single volume. The introduction describes the geological setting and discusses aspects of the paleoecology. Ten chapters deal with all the major macroinvertebrate groups, some of the microinvertebrates, and the famous vertebrate fauna. Useful appendices provide the collector with a list of important fossil localities and the locations of museums with collections of comparative material. In addition, an up-to-date list of Oxford Clay taxa and a comprehensive bibliography of Oxford Clay palaeontology are provided. This book is a definitive guide to our current knowledge of Oxford Clay faunal diversity. It is an essential purchase for all those interested in Jurassic paleontology.

Download or read book The Story of the Earth in 25 Rocks written by Donald R. Prothero and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every rock is a tangible trace of the earth’s past. The Story of the Earth in 25 Rocks tells the fascinating stories behind the discoveries that shook the foundations of geology. In twenty-five chapters—each about a particular rock, outcrop, or geologic phenomenon—Donald R. Prothero recounts the scientific detective work that shaped our understanding of geology, from the unearthing of exemplary specimens to tectonic shifts in how we view the inner workings of our planet. Prothero follows in the footsteps of the scientists who asked—and answered—geology’s biggest questions: How do we know how old the earth is? What happened to the supercontinent Pangea? How did ocean rocks end up at the top of Mount Everest? What can we learn about our planet from meteorites and moon rocks? He answers these questions through expertly chosen case studies, such as Pliny the Younger’s firsthand account of the eruption of Vesuvius; the granite outcrops that led a Scottish scientist to theorize that the landscapes he witnessed were far older than Noah’s Flood; the salt and gypsum deposits under the Mediterranean Sea that indicate that it was once a desert; and how trying to date the age of meteorites revealed the dangers of lead poisoning. Each of these breakthroughs filled in a piece of the greater puzzle that is the earth, with scientific discoveries dovetailing with each other to offer an increasingly coherent image of the geologic past. Summarizing a wealth of information in an entertaining, approachable style, The Story of the Earth in 25 Rocks is essential reading for the armchair geologist, the rock hound, and all who are curious about the earth beneath their feet.
