Description
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.
Audience:
geologists, biologists
