Product Description:
Paleopalynology, second edition, provides profusely illustrated
treatment of fossil palynomorphs, including spores, pollen,
dinoflagellate cysts, acritarchs, chitinozoans, scolecodonts, an_d
various microscopic fungal an_d algal dispersal bodies. The book serves
both as a student text an_d general reference work. Palynomorphs yield
information about age, geological an_d biological environment, climate
during deposition, an_d other significant factors about the enclosing
rocks.
Extant spores an_d pollen are treated first, preparing the student for
more difficult work with fossil sporomorphs an_d other kinds of
palynomorphs. Recognizing that palynomorphs occur together in rocks
because of chemical robustness an_d stratigraphic distribution, not
biological relationship, the central sections are organized
stratigraphically. Among many other topics presented are the
sedimentation an_d geothermal alteration of palynomorphs, an_d
palynofacies analysis. An appendix describes laboratory methods. The
glossary, bibliographies an_d index are useful tools for study of the
literature
