Recenzje

"The book contains fifty-two excellent illustrations, which are very useful, accurate, and often colorful. ... The book by Reolid et al. is very interesting and represents an important contribution to the study of the Pliensbachian-Toarcian boundary and the T-OAE. ... This comprehensive book constitutes an up-to-date reference and a great deal of knowledge with regard to its academic style and very rich content for researchers who work on or who are interested in the Toarcian transgression and T-OAE."
