Stratigraphic Paleobiology
This work weaves important strands of the paleontological literature into a coherent worldview that emphasizes the importance of understanding the geological record.
Applied Stratigraphy
Stratigraphy has come to be indispensable to nearly all branches of the earth sciences, assisting such endeavors as charting the course of evolution, understanding ancient ecosystems, and furnishing data pivotal to finding strategic mineral resources. This book focuses on traditional and innovative stratigraphy techniques and how these can be used to reconstruct the geological history of sedimentary basins and in solving manifold geological problems and phenomena.

Stratigraphy and Paleontology of the Credit River Section
Excerpt from Stratigraphy and Paleontology of the Credit River Section: Accompanied by Seven Plates, Also Insert Entitled "Composite Section of the Rocks of the Credit River" The source of the Credit river is on the western side of the Niagara cuesta near the village of Coningsby. From this point the river flows in a south easterly direction and empties into Lake Ontario at the village of Port Credit, seven miles west of the city of Toronto. In its upper reaches, at Credit Forks and Cataract, it cuts through the cuesta and exposes the Cataract and Lockport divisions of the Silurian, and the Queenston red shales. Between Credit Forks and Meadowvale, it winds slowly over the flat-lying drift...
Stratigraphy and Paleolimnology of the Green River Formation, Western USA
This volume presents a suite of detailed stratigraphic and sedimentologic investigations of the Eocene Green River Formation of Wyoming, Colorado and Utah, one of the world’s foremost terrestrial archives of lacustrine and alluvial deposition during the warmest portion of the early Cenozoic. Its twelve chapters encompass the rich and varied record of lacustrine stratigraphy, sedimentology, geochronology, geochemistry and paleontology. Chapters 2-9 provide detailed member-scale synthesis of Green River Formation strata within the Greater Green River, Fossil, Piceance Creek and Uinta Basins, while its final two chapters address its enigmatic evaporite deposits and ichnofossils at broad, interbasinal scale.
Fossils as Information
This book discusses procedures for handling information derived from the fossil record, and the application of this information to solving problems in geological succession and earth history. The main purpose of the book is to analyse shortcomings of the existing procedures, and to propose in their place an alternative set of data-handling arrangements of much greater simplicity and efficiency. The author argues that the procedures in current use are cumbersome and inefficient, and that, partly as a consequence of these information-handling methods, palaeontology has failed to make advances commensurate with technological improvements. In this book he proposes a system which could make possi...
