Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive survey of the fossil record of a group of aquatic crustaceans known as ostracods, which are minute animals living in shells. The author, T. Rupert Jones, was a prominent 19th century geologist and paleontologist, and this volume is one of the first to focus exclusively on the study of fossil ostracods. Ostracods have received little attention from naturalists and are often ignored in discussions of fossil records. However, the author argues that these creatures have persisted across long stretches of time, making them useful subjects for geologists seeking to understand the history of the Earth. Encompassing both the author's original research and insights from other leading scientists of the day, this text presents detailed descriptions of ostracods from the Tertiary Period. The author examines both marine and freshwater specimens, and explores their distribution across Europe. 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.…
