On the Structure and Affinities of the Tabulate Corals of the Palaeozoic Period (Classic Reprint): With Critical Descriptions - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Explore the ancient reef builders and learn how scientists unravel coral life from the deep past.
This classic work surveys the tabulate corals of the Palaeozoic era, detailing their structure, relationships, and the science behind identifying fossil corals. It blends descriptive anatomy with historical context, showing how researchers piece together the family tree of corals from limestone horizons around the world. The book includes plates and explanations that illuminate the shapes, walls, and patterns of corallites, tabs, and mural pores, helping readers see how these ancient organisms lived and evolved.
- Delves into key coral groups and genera, including Favosites, Syringolites, Monticulipora, and more, with careful descriptions and comparisons.
- Explains how tabulae, septa, and wall structures reveal affinities and classifications.
- Combines descriptive observations with diagrams to illustrate coral anatomy and fossil growth.
- Offers historical notes on specimens and the development of paleontological methods.
Ideal for students and enthusiasts of paleontology, fossil corals, and the study of ancient reef ecosystems; it provides a solid, scanner-friendly overview of a foundational topic in geology and biology.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the Tabulate Corals, a diverse group of Paleozoic corals long classified under a single, overarching category. Through microscopic examination of hundreds of species, this book presents a fresh perspective on the structure and evolution of Tabulate Corals. Leveraging the latest scientific advancements, the author challenges the traditional classification of Tabulates as a distinct order and instead suggests that they be divided into multiple distinct groups, some belonging to the Zoantharia order and others to the Alcyonaria. This division is supported by detailed descriptions of minute structures and analysis of soft tissue remains in some species. This book offers a groundbreaking contribution to the understanding of Tabulate Coral taxonomy, revealing their true diversity and phylogenetic relationships. Its insights will be of great interest to paleontologists and evolutionary biologists studying the origins and evolution of these ancient marine invertebrates. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332446377_0
