Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book's origins lie in a project that began in 1964 to model the conditions under which calcium carbonate sediments develop. The author and colleagues needed a field technique that could be used to provide usable subdivisions of muddy areas and chose to use mollusks as they are abundant, have shells, are large enough to be seen in the field, and are sessile, meaning their remains accumulate where they originate. The author provides insight into the mollusks that can be found in Florida Bay and the adjacent reef tract including both gastropods and pelecypods, based on analysis of 321 samples containing more than 90,000 specimens. With a focus on biofacies rather than taxonomy, the author's observations yield an understanding of the molluscan biofacies of the area, addressing distribution and environmental interpretation. The text includes numerous photographs, plates, and figures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
