Ten years on, Derek Briggs and Peter Crowther have once again brought together over 150 leading authorities from around the world to produce Palaeobiology II. Using the same successful formula, the content is arranged as a series of concise articles, taking a thematic approach to the subject, rather than treating the various fossil groups systematically. This entirely new book, with its diversity of new topics and over 100 new contributors, reflects the exciting developments in the field, 517 3 $aPalaeobiology two 517 3 $aPalaeobiology 2 606 $aPaleobiology 606 $aPaleontology 615 0$aPaleobiology. 615 0$aPaleontology. 676 $a560 701 $aBriggs$b D.
