Book Description
This volume was compiled in honor of Dr. V. Standish Mallory, who for thirty years served as curator of invertebrate paleontology at the Burke Museum and professor of geological sciences at the University of Washington. Contributions to the Paleontology and Geology of the West Coast includes previously unpublished classical works from the 1940s through the 1960s that complement or enlarge upon Mallory's foraminiferal studies. Also included are more recent works by distinguished geologists, all students of Mallory, focusing on topics as diverse as Miocene fossil rodents and Eocene insects and plants.

Life Traces of the Georgia Coast
Author: Anthony J. Martin
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253006023
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 715
Book Description
Have you ever wondered what left behind those prints and tracks on the seashore, or what made those marks or dug those holes in the dunes? Life Traces of the Georgia Coast is an up-close look at these traces of life and the animals and plants that made them. It tells about how the tracemakers lived and how they interacted with their environments. This is a book about ichnology (the study of such traces) and a wonderful way to learn about the behavior of organisms, living and long extinct. Life Traces presents an overview of the traces left by modern animals and plants in this biologically rich region; shows how life traces relate to the environments, natural history, and behaviors of their tracemakers; and applies that knowledge toward a better understanding of the fossilized traces that ancient life left in the geologic record. Augmented by illustrations of traces made by both ancient and modern organisms, the book shows how ancient trace fossils directly relate to modern traces and tracemakers, among them, insects, grasses, crabs, shorebirds, alligators, and sea turtles. The result is an aesthetically appealing and scientifically grounded book that will serve as source both for scientists and for anyone interested in the natural history of the Georgia coast.
