Foundations and Applications of Trace Fossils

Foundations and Applications of Trace Fossils provides a framework to use trace fossils to better interpret the sedimentological, stratigraphic and paleontological record, particularly as integrated with other geological datasets. Secondly, the book aims to update ichnology research to reflect recent developments. It 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.
