Böcker av Paul Selden

This book, widely praised for its coverage and approach in describing and illustrating 14 well known fossil sites from around the world, is now full updated with 6 new chapters and many new colour illustrations. A beautifully illustrated study of fossil sites from different periods providing a picture of the evolution of ecosystems down the ages.

Each chapter deals with a single fossil locality, with a brief introduction placing the Lagerstatte in an evolutionary context, then a history of study of the locality, the background sedimentology, stratigraphy and palaeoenvironment, a description of the biota, discussion of the palaeoecology, and a comparison with other Lagerstatten.
