Other applications and case studies; References; Index. 330 $aPalaeontology, the scientific study of fossils, has developed from a descriptive science to an analytical science used to interpret relationships between earth and life history. This book provides a comprehensive and thematic treatment of applied palaeontology, covering the use of fossils in the ordering of rocks in time and in space, in biostratigraphy, palaeobiology and sequence stratigraphy. Robert Wynn Jones presents a practical workflow for applied palaeontology, including sample acquisition, preparation and analysis, and interpretation and integration. He then presents numerous case studies that demonstrate the applicability and value of the subject to areas such as petroleum, mineral and coal exploration and exploitation, engineering geology and environmental science. Specialist applications outside of the geosciences (including archaeology, forensic science, medical palynology, entomopalynology and melissopalynology) are also addressed. Abundantly illustrated and referenced, Applications of Palaeontology provides a user-friendly reference for academic researchers and professionals across a range of disciplines and industry settings. 606 $aPaleontology$xResearch$vCase studies 606 $aEarth sciences$xResearch$vCase studies 606 $aEngineering geology$xResearch$vCase studies 615 0$aPaleontology$xResearch 615 0$aEarth sciences$xResearch 615 0$aEngineering geology$xResearch 676 $a560.72 686 $aSCI054000$2bisacsh 700 $aJones$b Robert Wynn$01652925 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808071203321 996 $aApplications of palaeontology$94003880 997 $aUNINA
