Springer Eocene Biodiversity - Geobiology Topics Vol 18

Explore the complexities of fossil records with Eocene Biodiversity: Unusual Occurrences and Rarely Sampled Habitats. Part of the Topics in Geobiology series, this work by Springer addresses the gaps in our current understanding of mammalian diversification during the Eocene epoch. While much of the existing research focuses on traditional fossil samples from the American West, this volume investigates why those specific findings might not tell the whole story. It examines how similar depositional settings and preservational circumstances in previous studies may have limited our view of the era. This book follows a dedicated program designed to identify new fossil sources. By looking toward non-traditional lithologies and different geographic areas, the research seeks to uncover the missing pieces of the Eocene story. It is a necessary resource for those studying biological sciences and the evolution of diverse species through different geological lenses.
