Fossils and Earth Time: Evolution and Biostratigraphy presents an in-depth examination of both micro- and macrofossils, showcasing their evolution and biostratigraphy throughout the Phanerozoic Era. The book meticulously explores various fossil groups that have influenced Earth's history. It integrates paleontological data with geological context and biostratigraphic principles, elucidating the intricate relationship between fossil assemblages and Earth's dynamic past. This resource is invaluable for those studying geology, paleontology, or investigating the spatial and temporal distribution across Earth’s history.

The book delves into the significance of fossils as vital biostratigraphic tools, enabling precise dating and correlation of sedimentary rocks across different regions and continents. It offers up-to-date information, making it an essential reference for researchers and professionals. The comprehensive coverage of fossil groups and their geological implications provides readers with a thorough understanding of Earth’s evolutionary timeline. Practical applications and case studies further enhance its utility for academia and industry alike.

Anna Waśkowska is a professor of Earth Sciences at the AGH University of Krakow. She graduated in geology from the Jagiellonian University, where she earned her Ph.D. in Geological Sciences. She began her professional career at the Faculty of Geology, Geophysics, and Environmental Protection at AGH, where she achieved habilitation and was awarded the title of professor. Her research focuses on geology and paleontology, with a particular emphasis on foraminifera, exploring their biodiversity, taxonomy, paleoecology, and paleobiogeography. The Carpathians are a special area of interest, where she investigates the paleontological record, lithostratigraphy, and paleogeographical development. She is the author of over 130 scientific articles, three academic textbooks, and numerous conference abstracts. For more than 25 years, she has been teaching courses in geology, Earth’s history, and geotourism. She also organizes conferences and specialized courses in micropaleontology. Prof. Waśkowska is actively involved in science popularization and geotourism. She runs the Micropaleontological Foundation Micropress Europe, supporting the development of the micropaleontological community and is a co-organizer of The European Micropaleontological Reference Centre, dedicated to preserving and providing access to paleontological collections.
