Description of Atlas of Trace Fossils in Well Core 1st Edition (PDF)

Atlas of Trace Fossils in Well Core 1st Edition written by Dirk Knaust is a great Paleontology book available for (PDF) download. Ichnological data are becoming more and more crucial in sedimentological and paleoenvironmental interpretation, not only in the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbon but also in the characterization of aquifers and in scientific drilling. It has been prepared for an audience in the fields of sedimentology, paleontology, and petroleum geoscience from academia (graduate students and professionals) and industry (reservoir geologists).

Atlas of Trace Fossils in Well Core book offers a detailed description and interpretation of 39 commonly occurring ichnogenera together with recurrently associated features such as diffuse bioturbated texture, plant roots, and their traces, borings and pseudo-trace fossils. This unique information is complemented by examples of trace fossils in outcrop, as well as relevant key figures from existing work.
