Esta es la tercera edición de MICROPALEONTOLOGÍA, un manual dirigido a los alumnos del grado de Geología, también muy útil para los alumnos de grado de Biología, Ciencias Ambientales e Ingeniería Geológica. Actualmente es el único libro de texto de Micropaleontología en español y resultará también de interés en las universidades del mundo hispano. Incluye en cada capítulo numerosas ilustraciones y fotografías de microfósiles de todo el planeta.
This volume is a collection of papers presented to Professor Tom Barnard by former students, colleagues and friends to mark thirty-two years of teaching and research in micropalaeontology at University College London. This period represents the major part of Tom Barnard's career with microfossils, which actually began rather earlier, but in 1949 his first postgraduate students were registered. Since then some 150 students have worked for higher degrees studying foraminifera, ostracods, calcareous nannofossils, dino of Research flagellates and palynomorphs, in company with a series Assistants and Visiting Scientists. The nature of micropalaeontology at 'UC' under Tom Barnard has always been unashamedly biostratigraphical. As a result many students have entered and continue to enter the petroleum industry, not least of all because their mentor has always had a pragmatic view of academic research and its direction. Despite this emphasis, with a particular attention to Mesozoic foraminifera, a major investigation of Recent Caribbean foraminiferal faunas has been carried out and most recently MSc classes have worked with material from the continental shelf of southern Africa. Work with Mesozoic ostracods was initiated in 1956 and during the past decade a growing number of students have concentrated on calcareous nannofossils. A book sum marising the results of biostratigraphical work with nannofossils is at present in the press (Lord, A. R. (ed. ) A stratigraphical index of calcareous nanno fossils. Chichester: Ellis Horwood).
This book on the Aspects of Micropaleontology has been designed to serve the needs of University Post Graduate students especially of Applied Geology, Geology and Earth Science and Natural Resource Management. The endeavour has been to fulfill the need for a comprehensive book which covers basic knowledge in the field of Micropaleontology and provides all fundamental aspects of Microfossils including the procedure to separate the microfossils from various sediments. Beginners in micro paleontological research are the beneficiaries of this book. The book contains research data on Micropaleontology, Palynology and Paleobotany. It may be noted that very few Universities are carrying-out research at this juncture on these subjects. Therefore, a book such as this with many hand sketches will help students to easily follow the subject through illustrations rather than photos. Almost all the major Microfossil Groups and their morphological characters are covered giving a comprehensive account with illustrations. This book is the first attempt made to bring out a comprehensive account on Microfossils and how to identify them and how to solve some of the geological problems. An illustrative account on various microscopes and principles are supplemented. The book also contains in a nutshell information on how to select microscopes for different microfossils for students. The book simplifies and explains binomial nomenclature and the method to identify and how to name fossils in general and how to follow the thumb rule in naming of plants and animals are explained with examples. How to classify the microfossils based on its test chemistry, habitat and ecological factors are also included and supported with some appropriate illustrations. All relevant chapters are incorporated within the time limit covered. The author looks forward to a response about the book from teachers and the student community. The cover page of this book was prepared with much care so that it reveals the contents of the book.
This book will help readers learn the basic skills needed to study microfossils especially those without a formal background in paleontology. It details key principles, explains how to identify different groups of microfossils, and provides insight into their potential applications in solving geologic problems. Basic principles are addressed with examples that explore the strengths and limitations of microfossils and their geological records. This overview provides an understanding of taphonomy and quality of the fossil records, biomineralization and biogeochemistry, taxonomy, concepts of species, and basic concepts of ecology. Readers learn about the major groups of microfossils, including their morphology, ecology, and geologic history. Coverage includes: foraminifera, ostracoda, coccolithophores, pteropods, radiolaria, diatoms, silicoflagellates, conodonts, dinoflagellates, acritarch, and spores and pollens. In this coverage, marine microfossils, and particularly foraminifera, are discussed in more detail compared with the other groups as they continue to play a major role in most scientific investigations. Among the various tracers of earth history, microfossils provide the most diverse kinds of information to earth scientists. This richly illustrated volume will help students and professionals understand microfossils, and provide insight on how to work with them to better understand evolution of life, and age and the paleoenvironment of sedimentary strata.
This beautifully illustrated text book, with state-of-the-art illustrations, is useful not only for an introduction to the subject, but also for the application of marine microfossils in paleoceanographic, paleoenvironmental and biostratigraphic analyses. The recent revival of interest in marine micropaleontology worldwide in the wake of the development of sequence stratigraphic models has led to the decision to reissue the volume in its original, but paperback, form. The ideas expressed in various chapters of this second edition remain as valid today as they were when the book was first issued. The text, however, includes an updated Phanerozoic geologic time which has been considerably modified since the 1980s.
Seven original case-studies are presented in this volume, each describing the application of micropaleontology and palynology in applied geology: (1) a study of the modern distribution of coccolith sedimentation in the North Sea and its potential for future application in basin analysis; (2) ostracods are shown to be good paleoenvironmental indicators in the early Cretaceous and Tertiary; (3) a biogenic gas seep in the North Sea is shown to be marked by diagnostic benthonic foraminifera; (4) in the North Sea hydrocarbon exploration, integrated studies of micropaleontology have provided invaluable data; (5) palynofacies analysis are shown to be vital in determining depositional events and hydrocarbon source rock potential; (6) the application of paleontology and sedimentology to sequence stratigraphy is demonstrated in the early Cretaceous; and (7) the application of micropaleontology is shown to be an essential tool in both engineering and economic geology. Most chapters have been prepared by earth scientists from industry. The study of microfossils presented in this book provides invaluable data for stratigraphers, petroleum geologists and for engineers and economic geologists working in hydrocarbon exploration and basin analysis.
Microfossils are ideally suited to environmental studies because their short generation times allow them to respond rapidly to environmental change. This book represents an assessment of the progress made in environmental micropalaeontology and sets out future research directions. The taxa studied are mainly foraminifera, but include arcellaceans, diatoms, dinoflagellates, and ostracodes. The papers themselves range from reviews of applications of particular taxa to specific case studies.
This title provides comprehensive coverage of the features, technology and principles of the product RAC that is part of the Oracle9i release of Oracle's RDBMS product. This book is divided into three main parts covering various areas of the application/database design, development and maintenance life cycles. Starting with the fundamentals, an introduction to the concepts of the various hardware architectures and the clustering technology available, the book discusses the pros and cons, leading into discussion of the RAC technology. After the formal introduction of the concepts of clustering and configurations, the book discusses the various theories of asynchronous (parallelism) and synchronous processing and how this theory could be applied to the database tier of the enterprise architecture.
