Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book takes an in-depth look at 17 species of the coral family Faviidae, which contain the distinctive characteristic of budding internally. The author examines specimens found in the Dominican Republic, looking specifically at the geologic period of the Miocene through the Pliocene epochs. The author utilizes statistical analyses, comparisons to other species, and cladistic techniques to reveal the relationships between these extinct species, ultimately assigning them to seven genera. The author also provides a survey of the relevant literature, and discusses broader implications for understanding coral evolution. This book is a valuable resource for both experienced paleontologists and those new to the field.
