At the Top of the Grand Staircase: The Late Cretaceous of Southern Utah
ISBN: 9780253008831 / Angielski / Twarda / 656 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is the location of one of the best-known terrestrial records for the late Cretaceous. Prior fieldwork confirmed the richness of the area, but a major effort begun in the new century has documented over 2,000 new vertebrate fossil sites, provided new radiometric dates, and identified five new genera of ceratopsids, two new species of hadrosaur, a probable new genus of hypsilophodontid, new pachycephalosaurs and ankylosaurs, several kinds of theropods (including a new genus of oviraptor and a new tyrannosaur), plus the most complete specimen of...

Antarctic Paleobiology: Its Role in the Reconstruction of Gondwana
ISBN: 9781461279297 / Angielski / Miękka / 261 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Antarctic Paleobiology discusses the current status of paleobiology, principally paleobotany and palynology in Antarctica, and the interrelationship of Antarctic floras to those of other Gondwana continents. It provides a broad coverage of the major groups of plants on the one hand, while on the other seeking to evaluate the vegetational history and the physical and biological parameters that influence the distribution of floras through time and space. The biologic activity is discussed within a framework of the geologic history, including the tectonic and paleogeographic history of...

Long-Term Forest Dynamics of the Temperate Zone: A Case Study of Late-Quaternary Forests in Eastern North America
ISBN: 9781461291367 / Angielski / Miękka / 439 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The synthesis presented in this volume is a direct outgrowth of our ten-year FORMAP Project (Forest Mapping Across Eastern North America from 20,000 yr B.P. to the Present). Many previous research efforts in paleoecology have used plant-fossil evidence as proxy information for primarily geologic or climatic reconstructions or as a bio- stratigraphic basis for correlation of regional events. In contrast, in this book, we deal with ecological questions that require a holistic perspective that integrates the interactions of biota with their dynamically changing environments over time scales up...

Echinoderms in a Changing World : Proceedings of the 13th International Echinoderm Conference, January 5-9 2009, University of Tasmania, Hobart Tasmania, Australia
ISBN: 9781138000100 / Angielski / Twarda / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Echinoderms are an ancient and diverse group of marine animals with a rich fossil record. They occur abundantly in all modern oceans and at all depths, where they contribute importantly to patterns in biodiversity and to the structure and functioning of marine systems. It is therefore vital to understand how they will respond to a rapidly changing ocean climate and other anthropogenic stressors, informed by both the dynamics of the fossil record and responses of extant species. The theme of the 13th International Echinoderm Conference (Hobart, Tasmania, 5-9 January 2009) was the response of...

Special Papers in Palaeontology, Smithian (Early Triassic) Ammonoids from the Salt Range (Pakistan) and Spiti (India)
ISBN: 9781444367133 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Special Papers in Palaeontology 88 comprises 2 substantial papers that describe the Early Triassic (Smithian) ammonoids from the Salt Range (Pakistan) and the Spiti region of India. Ammonoids are abundant and well–preserved at many localities in these regions, and their highly resolved evolutionary succession is the key to stratigraphic correlation between the 2 areas, and with other Tethyan sequences such as those in southern Tibet and south China. Many new key genera and species are described.

A Near-Complete Skeleton of Tenontosaurus Tilletti from Montana, USA
ISBN: 9783659299384 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book comprises the redescrption of an excellent specimen of Tenontosaurus tilletti. Previous phylogenetic placement within the Iguanodontia is questioned based on the lack of character affinity with the defining synapomorphies of the clade. The clades Hypsilophodontidae (=Hypsilophodontia) and Iguanodontia are both deemed to be in critical need of refinement to account for recent discoveries and re-classifications of certain euornithopods if ornithopod relationships are to be resolved. Several synapomorphies are out-dated and deemed redundant in favour of a more quantifiable approach....

Sabertooth
ISBN: 9780253010421 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With their spectacularly enlarged canines, sabertooth cats are among the most popular of prehistoric animals, yet it is surprising how little information about them is available for the curious layperson. What's more, there were other sabertooths that were not cats, animals with exotic names like nimravids, barbourofelids, and thylacosmilids. Some were no taller than a domestic cat, others were larger than a lion, and some were as weird as their names suggest. Sabertooths continue to pose questions even for specialists. What did they look like? How did they use their spectacular canine...

Reconstructing Behavior in the Primate Fossil Record
ISBN: 9781461355076 / Angielski / Miękka / 437 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume brings together a series of papers that address the topic of reconstructing behavior in the primate fossil record. The literature devoted to reconstructing behavior in extinct species is ovelWhelming and very diverse. Sometimes, it seems as though behavioral reconstruction is done as an afterthought in the discussion section of papers, relegated to the status of informed speculation. But recent years have seen an explosion in studies of adaptation, functional anatomy, comparative sociobiology, and development. Powerful new comparative methods are now available on the internet. At...

A Quantitative Analysis of European Quaternary Equids
ISBN: 9783659282485 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although so much of work have been done about the anatomy and systematics of Quaternary horses but still the story of Equus shows some missing links in the natural history of horse. In this present work the researcher has made an attempt to classify Horses (discriminate between species or group of species) on the basis of size, sex and shape analysis by using two Multivariate statistical methods. The objective is to trace out the sex ratio, and establish degree of sexual dimorphism in fossil horses from Italian peninsula; to characterize the structure of horse bones on the basis of size and...

Tsunami is a catastrophic event caused severe damage to the south and southeast countries with huge population loss of more than 3 lakh people. Micropaleontology is a fascinating discipline, particularly Foraminifera and Ostrcoda are very vital by which we can identify the paleotsunami sediments.
