Beschreibung
Neptune City, New Jersey, tall quarto (12.5 by 9.5 inches), 459 p. and literally hundreds of color photos, line-drawing reconstructions, diagrams and graphs. ***CONTENT: For more than 150 years, the Early Cretaceous Santana Group of northeastern Brazil (Araripe Basin) has been recognized as one of the world's most productive fossil sites. Entombed in the lacustrine and shallow marine limestones and shales of the region is an amazing variety of exceptionally preserved fossils from the Age of Dinosaurs: plants, spiders, crustaceans and insects, mollusks, myriad fishes, frogs, turtles, snakes, crocodiles, pterosaurs, dinosaurs, and bird feathers. In 2006, the Araripe Basin was designated a UNESCO Global Geopark. Chapters in this volume describe the landscapes, geologic setting and paleoenvironments, the history of fossil discoveries, collecting and preparation methods, and more. However, the greatest attention is devoted to detailed descriptions of the fossil genera and species that occur: their anatomy, distribution and relationships. More than 300 pages of this treatise are devoted to fossil descriptions; specimens are vividly illustrated by splendid color photos and reconstructions. This volume is designed to appeal to paleontologists and non-specialists alike, and is a superb introduction to the life of the geological past. ***CONDITION: Complete and new, as issued by the publisher. Covers pristine, joints, hinges and binding solid, pages and illustrations immaculate. No previous ownership indications. A visually handsome, striking and informative volume! International and domestic shipping will be extra for this heavy volume, but only at my cost. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers OG5483
