The different driving mechanisms for landscape evolution are explored by reviewing the history of the Amazonian Craton, the associated sedimentary basins, and the role of mountain uplift and climate change. This book provdes an insight into the Meso- and Cenozoic record of Amazonia that was characterized by fluvial and long-lived lake systems and a highly diverse flora and fauna. This fauna includes giants such as the ca. 12 m long caiman Purussaurus, but also a v 606 $aNatural history$zAmazon River Region 606 $aHistorical geology$zAmazon River Region 606 $aPaleontology$zAmazon River Region 606 $aGeology, Stratigraphic$yCenozoic 615 0$aNatural history 615 0$aHistorical geology 615 0$aPaleontology 615 0$aGeology, Stratigraphic 676 $a508.811 676 $a560.453098 686 $aRW 60123$2rvk 701 $aHoorn$b C$g(Carina)$0908091 701 $aWesselingh$b F.
