Description 1 online resource (xvii, 420 pages) : illustrations (some color) Series Topics in Geobiology, 0275-0120 ; 41 Topics in geobiology ; 41. 0275-0120 Contents Part I Functional Morphology -- Part II Taphonomy and Environment -- Part III Organism-Substrate Interaction Summary Paleontologists and geologists struggle with research questions often complicated by the loss or even absence of key paleobiological and paleoenvironmental information. Insight into this missing data can be gained through direct exploration of analogous living organisms and modern environments. Creative, experimental, and interdisciplinary treatments of such ancient-Earth analogs form the basis of this volume. It unites a diverse range of expert paleontologists, neontologists, and geologists presenting case studies that cover a spectrum of topics, including functional morphology, taphonomy, environments, and organism-substrate interactions Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed May 13, 2014) Subject Paleontology.
