Plankton Statigraphy

This monumental synthesis of our knowledge of the biostratigraphy of marine plankton is the work of an international team of thirteen authors, who have contributed nineteen chapters in all. The book covers every aspect of the stratigraphy of plankton, starting with the fossil schemes and then systematically examining the identification of the groups through geological time (from the present to the Cretaceous era). A particular strength of the work is the provision of thousands of photographs and diagrams of particular planktic fossils, making the book an indispensable work of reference in the earth sciences.
