Request a sales quoteVertebrate Ichnology: Fish Ichnology, Consumption, Burrows and Reproduction, Geoconservation is a comprehensive and meticulously researched review and analysis of the entire vertebrate trace fossil record, shedding light on lesser-known vertebrate traces beyond footprints. From vertebrate burrows to the ichnology of reproduction, each chapter provides valuable insights and up-to-date information. The book explores a wide range of topics including consumption through coprolites, dentalites, regurgitalites, and more, including other trace fossils that are evidence of vertebrate predation and consumption. This authoritative reference provides students, researchers, and professionals in the field of Earth and Planetary sciences with detail on geological heritage of vertebrate ichnosites and their importance in geoconservation efforts.
- Explores diverse aspects of vertebrate ichnology, including fish imprints, gregarious behavior evidence, and detailed analysis of vertebrate consumption through various trace fossils
- Provides comprehensive coverage of vertebrate burrows, the ichnology of reproduction, and the geological heritage of vertebrate ichnosites
- Written by leading experts in vertebrate trace fossils, ensuring an authoritative and up-to-date reference for researchers, academics, and professionals in the field
- Includes over 100 detailed and striking figures
