Editorial Reviews

Review

"If I were a student once again starting out in my micropalaeontological career, this would have to be on my shopping list...It is books like this that will hopefully catch the interest of undergraduates and persuade them to continue within the field and regenerate our ageing skills pool." (Newsletter of Micropalaeontology, September 2005)

"Overall, I found the second edition of Microfossils to be an excellent book and one I highly recommend....[it] will make an excellent text for an introductory course in micropaleontology, or as a supplement to an invertebrate paleontology course." (American Association of Stratigraphic Palynologists Newsletter, April 2006)

"...a very valuabel re-addition to the micropalaeontological literature available to undergraduate students..." (Journal of Quaternary Science, June 2006)

Book Description

This new and completely revised edition covers all the major microfossil groups, with information on taxonomy, phylogeny, ecology, and paleoecology. Particular attention is given to the uses of microfossils in environmental reconstruction and biostratigraphy.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must-have innovation in the study of the fossil records, February 28, 2007
By 
PaleoBase: Macrofossils Part 2.0: Ammonoids, Bivalves, Coleoids, Gastropods, and other Mollusca (CD-ROM) edited by Norman Macleod, contributions by Staff Natural History Museum, London England (Blackwell Publishing) said though three in separately issued CD-ROMs is likely to become the basis by which students and scientists their fossil taxonomy. Rich in visual detail these records are likely to become a touchstone for basic understanding of our fossil records geologically and in evolutionary demonstrations of the persistence and change of basic forms of life in the fossil record. Highly recommended for all serious students and scientists as a resource for studying fossils.
