The Application Of Ichnology To Palaeoenvironmental And Stratigraphic Analysis (geological Society Special Publication) (no. 228)

It has been increasingly realized by sedimentologists in the petroleum industry and academia that integration of ichnological information into sedimentological models, and vice versa, is one of the main means by which we can improve our understanding of ancient depositional environments. This volume aims to provide an analytical review of the ichnology of all major depositional environments and the use of ichnology in biostratigraphic and sequence stratigraphic analysis, as well as highly refined palaeoenvironmental studies. The remit of the book is achieved through a combination of review articles and novel research papers that outline methodologies and protocols for improving our understanding of ancient palaeoenvironments. Trace fossils from microscopic borings to dinosaur footprints are considered. The comprehensive coverage of ancient depositional environments means that the book will be of use as a course text for undergraduates as well as an invaluable reference text for all interested in ichnology whether they are ichnologists, sedimentologists or petroleum geologists by trade.

Trace fossils from microscopic borings to dinosaur footprints are considered The Neuquén Basin of northern Patagonia is one of the largest petroleum provinces in South America and includes a dramatic record of relative sea-level changes as well as a unique and globally important palaeontological record. Understanding this region is also central to unravelling the history of the Andes. The latest developments in the study of the area have been combined in this volume to give an integrated series of case studies that document the structural, igneous, sedimentological and palaeontological history of the region from the Triassic to the Recent Recently ichnology has been a rapidly developing branch of palaeontology that not only has important applications in classical palaeobiology, but is also of great value in the more applied disciplines of palaeoenvironmental and stratigraphical analysis. Much progress has been made in the development of this discipline, but there remain many fascinating and challenging issues, particularly in combining ichnology and sedimentology. This book aims to provide a summary of recent progress, with an up-to-date summary of most themes in modern ichnology
