Fossils and Earth Time

Fossils and Earth Time, 1st Edition presents a reference overview of evolutionary palaeontology and biostratigraphic correlation. The volume examines micro- and macrofossils across the Phanerozoic Era, demonstrating how biological remains function as tools to date and correlate sedimentary rocks across regional and continental scales.

The text organizes its primary coverage around index taxa and biostratigraphic zonation established within major fossil groups. By placing fossil assemblages directly into their geological context, the work maintains strict alignment with the linear Geological Time Scale, documenting significant historical shifts such as environmental changes and mass extinction events.

This volume benefits Earth scientists, paleontologists, geoscientists, and students analyzing biostratigraphy and geological timing. Its structured data provides practical utility for professionals and researchers working across academic institutions and industrial sectors.
