Worn dust jacket (areas of heavy scuffing to edges, sunning on the spine and along the edges). -- A comprehensive exploration of ancient soils, or paleosols, and their critical role in interpreting the Earth's geological past. This foundational work delves into the processes of soil formation and preservation over geological time scales, offering a detailed guide to identifying fossilized soils within the rock record. The authors meticulously examine the structures, horizons, and features of paleosols, providing insights into the ancient environments, climates, and ecosystems they represent. The book addresses the complexities of diagenesis - the chemical, physical, and biological changes that occur in soils after burial - offering readers a framework for distinguishing between modern soils and their ancient counterparts. Through rich case studies and numerous illustrations, Paleosols highlights the significance of buried soils as markers of past climatic conditions, tectonic settings, and surface processes. The text serves as a critical resource for geologists, paleontologists, and environmental scientists seeking to reconstruct past terrestrial ecosystems, assess sedimentological conditions, and interpret the evolution of landscapes through time. The study explores paleosols as dynamic records of the Earth's surface, detailing how ancient soil horizons, root traces, mineral compositions, and fossilized organic matter offer invaluable clues about prehistoric environmental changes. The book provides essential methodologies for identifying paleosols within sedimentary sequences, shedding light on weathering processes, erosion, and the interaction between soils and sedimentation. A milestone in the study of ancient soils, this book continues to be a vital reference for understanding the geological history written in the world's landscapes.
