This book offers a comprehensive review of the entire field of taphonomy, the science of
fossil preservation. It describes the formation of plant and animal fossils in oceanic …

This review summarises the major factors that affect the post-mortem history of skeletons in a
coral reef environment. Skeletal material is traced from life, through death, breakdown …

From the reviews:"... This is an extremely useful reference text for the sedimentary geologist
to own. It is well produced with clear illustrations and text, and gives excellent factual …

Over the last few decades, many studies have correlated infaunal invertebrate distributions
with sediment grain size, leading to the generalization of distinct associations between …

Because of fundamental differences between trace fossils and body fossils, ichnologic
nomenclature is beset with difficulties. Foremost is inconsistent treatment by the International …

The composition of any environment or object is determined by a particular balance
between material transport processes and chemical reactions within and around it. In the …

Concentrations of magnetite were determined, with depth, in sediments of varying H 2 S
content taken from Long Island Sound (FOAM, NWC, and Sachem sites) and from a site in …

The effects of benthic organisms on the physical properties of granular substrata are well
documented. The range of effects has been presented in HB Moore (1931, 1939), Schwartz …

Four basic types of skeletal concentrations are modeled in terms of changes in
sedimentation rate alone. The model categorizes fossil concentrations on the relatively …
