Conclusions. References. From the Foreword The present work is unique in its approach as it synthesizes data collected from multiple sources many of which for the first time in this field. It has applied ichnological features extensively as authentic tools for palaeoenvironmental interpretation and palaeosealevel and palaeoshoreline reconstructions. The detailed analysis of quartz grain surface ultrastructure provide insight of inter and intra basinal detritus movement patterns environmental overprinting and source environments. Data obtained from sedimentary structures soil profiles geoarchaeological tools body fossils natural laboratory experiments with ripple forms and landsat imageris have been critically applied. Lastly the Memoir aptly addresses various negative effects of recent global warming on ecospace of the thriving biotic communities and their preserved manifestations in organosedimentary records. The memoir is published as a reward of the endeavour of the authors for revealing a comprehensive picture of the Quaternary Geological Evolution of Gujarat in an innovative way and also for generation of a new database from multiple sources. This is expected to help immensely the earth scientists working with the Quaternary period. 148 pp.
