* This definitive textbook by a renowned field observer and analyst of trace fossils concentrates on the most distinctive examples, mostly made by infaunal invertebrates in originally soft sediments. It covers the whole geologic column and ranges from deep-sea to shallow-marine and continental environments. Seilacher's Trace Fossil Analysis is designed to foster interpretative skills using the author's own iconic drawings. They are thematically grouped in 75 plates that form the core for the descriptive text and annotated references. A glossary of ichnological terms is also provided. *

Planktonic foraminifera as tracers of past oceanic environments / 7. Paleoceanographical proxies based on deep-sea benthic foraminiferal assemblage characteristics / 8. Diatoms: From Micropaleontology to Isotope Geochemistry / 9. Organic-walled Dinoflagellate Cysts: Tracers of sea-surface conditions / 10. Coccolithophores: From extant populations to fossil assemblages / 11. Biomarkers as paleoceanographic proxies / 12. Deep-sea corals: New Insights to paleoceanography / 13. Transfer functions - Methods for quantitative paleoceanography based on microfossils / Part 3: Geochemical tracers. 14. Elemental Proxies for Palaeoclimatic and Palaeoceanographic Variability in Marine Sediments: Interpretation and Application / 15. Isotopic tracers of water masses and deep currents / 16. Paleoflux and Paleocirculation from Sediment 230Th and 231Pa/230Th / 17. Boron Isotopes in Marine Carbonate Sediments and the pH of the Ocean / 18. The Use of Oxygen and Carbon Isotopes of Foraminifera in Paleoceanography / 19. Elemental proxies for reconstructing Cenozoic seawater paleotemperatures from calcareous fossils / Conclusion: Reconstructing and modelling past oceans / **
* The present volume is the first in a series of two books dedicated to the paleoceanography of the Late Cenozoic ocean. The need for an updated synthesis on paleoceanographic science is urgent, owing to the huge and very diversified progress made in this domain during the last decade. In addition, no comprehensive monography still exists in this domain. *

Monitoring in Coastal Environments Using Foraminifera and
Thecamoebian Indicators
Cambridge University Press 2007.1
177 pp.(P)
ISBN 0-521-02114-6
6,900円
Contents
Preface; 1. Some perspective on Testate Rhizopods; 2. Methodological considerations; 3. Applications; 4. Research on new applications; 5. Fresh water systems applications; 6. Conclusions and remarks; Glossary; Taxonomic list of species; Bibliography; Index.
* Here is the first comprehensive book to describe specific environmental applications of foraminifera and thecamoebians. These organisms permit the biological characterization of a variety of freshwater and coastal marine environments and react quickly to environmental stress, natural or anthropogenic. Their small size and hard shells lead to preservation in large numbers in core samples, allowing their use as proxies to reconstruct past environmental conditions. The book introduces the topic to nonspecialists and then goes on to give detailed descriptions of the methods and techniques. Resource managers and consultants in the public and private sectors who routinely work on coastal environmental problems will find this book invaluable. *

1. Introduction; 2. Fossils and fossilisation; 3. Principal fossil groups; 4. Palaeobiology; 5. Key biological events in earth history; 6. Biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy; 7. Case histories of applications of palaeontology; References.
* After an introduction to fossils and their classification, each of the principal fossil groups are studied in detail, covering their biology, morphology, classification, palaeobiology and biostratigraphy. The latter sections focus on the applications of fossils in the interpretation of earth and life processes and environments. It concludes with case histories of how our knowledge of fossils is applied, in industry and elsewhere. *
