Recent studies of contemporary basins and ancient strata have provided a basis for
expanding and refining early oxygen-related marine biofacies models. New observations …

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 …

Ichnology is the study of traces created in the substrate by living organisms. This is the first
book to systematically cover basic concepts and applications in both paleobiology and …

A new scheme for the description and analysis of bioturbation and the resultant ichnofabrics
is proposed. This system can be used in core and field-based studies and consists of two …

The new edition of this work includes an appendix listing criteria for the identification of
ichnotaxa. It covers all aspects of tiering trace fossil diversity and ichnoguilds, and is aimed …

Infaunal communities in marine environments typically are tiered; that is, different taxa live at
different depths within the sediment. Tiered suites of biogenic structures yield complex …

This modern textbook of biological oceanography is aimed atstudents taking oceanography,
marine biology and marine sciencescourses. It covers recent developments such as the …

Relict burrows on the Nova Scotian Rise act as traps for highly reactive, relatively fresh
organic matter from recent diatom blooms in surface waters. As such, the burrows are sites …

Trace fossil types and their vertical arrangement (tiering) are closely related to the biotope,
and hence, can provide information on ecological conditions, especially on oxygenation …

Trends of decreasing trace-fossil diversity, burrow size, and penetration depth with
diminishing oxygen availability in contemporary marine settings have been incorporated …
