Past Environments of Mexico by Rosalía Guerrero-Arenas,Eduardo Jiménez-Hidalgo Pdf

Mexico is a biodiverse country. The dynamics of environments from Mexico played a crucial role in the history of North American biota. This book analyzes the paleoenvironmental conditions using several biological groups and various methods. This book also demonstrates how this information is specifically used to elucidate Mexico‘s past environments and habitats (terrestrial, freshwater, and marine). This book fills an existing editorial gap since much of the information is dispersed in several bibliographic sources. The authors are active paleontologists in diverse Mexican universities and research centers. Their research activities contribute to the knowledge of the Mexican biota through geologic time.

Applications of Palaeontology by Robert Wynn Jones Pdf

Palaeontology, the scientific study of fossils, has developed from a descriptive science to an analytical science used to interpret relationships between Earth and life history. This book provides a comprehensive and thematic treatment of applied palaeontology, covering the use of fossils in the ordering of rocks in time and in space, in biostratigraphy, palaeobiology and sequence stratigraphy. Robert Wynn Jones presents a practical workflow for applied palaeontology, including sample acquisition, preparation and analysis, and interpretation and integration. He then presents numerous case studies that demonstrate the applicability and value of the subject to areas such as petroleum, mineral and coal exploration and exploitation, engineering geology and environmental science. Specialist applications outside of the geosciences (including archaeology, forensic science, medical palynology, entomopalynology and melissopalynology) are also addressed. Abundantly illustrated and referenced, Applications of Palaeontology provides a user-friendly reference for academic researchers and professionals across a range of disciplines and industry settings.

Dinosaurs and Other Reptiles from the Mesozoic of Mexico by Héctor E. Rivera-Sylva,Kenneth Carpenter,Eberhard Frey Pdf

This overview of dinosaur discoveries in Mexico synthesizes current information about the geography and environment of the region during the Mesozoic when it was the western margin of the ancient continent of Pangea. The book summarizes research on various groups, including turtles, lepidosauromorphs, plesiosaurs, crocodyliforms, pterosaurs, and last but not least, dinosaurs. In addition, chapters focus on trackways and other trace fossils and on K/P boundary (the Chicxulub crater, beneath the Gulf of Mexico, has been hypothesized as the site of the boloid impact that killed off the dinosaurs). Dinosaurs and Other Reptiles from the Mesozoic of Mexico is an up-to-date, informative volume on an area that has not been comprehensively described until now.

Fossils of New Mexico by Barry S. Kues Pdf

Because almost every part of New Mexico is rich in fossils, collectors from all over the Land of Enchantment will want to own this useful book, the first authoritative and well-illustrated guide to the state's fossils. It provides a nontechnical introduction to the basic principles of studying and collecting fossils along with a guide to the kinds of fossils one is likely to find within the state. The author's advice on collecting fossils ranges from the minutely practical--how to carry your specimens home and prepare them--to the ethics of collecting. He defines and explains the nature of fossils and fossilization, the study of paleontology, and the kinds of rocks in which fossils are found. He explains the geologic time scale and the significance of fossils to understanding the history of life, and describes the main groups of vertebrate, invertebrate, and plant fossils and their classification. The longest section of the book is a guide to New Mexico fossils of each geologic period. For every period represented in the state's rocks, Kues provides a summary of important paleontologic events, a map showing the distribution of outcrops, and a general description of the types of fossils one is likely to find in strata of the period. More than 500 common and characteristic fossil genera are illustrated to facilitate identification of fossils observed or collected in rocks of each age.

Echinoderm Research and Diversity in Latin America by Juan José Alvarado,Francisco Alonso Solis-Marin Pdf

This book compiles for the first time the development of echinoderm research in Latin America. The book contains 17 chapters, one introductory, 15 country chapters, and a final biogeographic analysis. It compiles all the investigations published in international and local journals, reports, theses and other gray literature. Each chapter is composed of 7 sections: introduction describes the marine environments, and main oceanographic characteristics, followed by a history of research account divided by specific subjects. The next section addresses patterns of distribution and diversity. A specific section would explain fishery or aquaculture activities. The next sections deal with environmental and anthropogenic threats that are affecting echinoderm, and any conservation or management action. Finally, a section with conclusions, needs and new lines of research. The book will include two appendixes with species lists of all echinoderms with bathimetric data, habitat and distribution.

Gulf of Mexico Origin, Waters, and Biota by Darryl L. Felder,David K. Camp Pdf

This landmark scientific reference for scientists, researchers, and students of marine biology tackles the monumental task of taking a complete biodiversity inventory of the Gulf of Mexico with full biotic and biogeographic information. Presenting a comprehensive summary of knowledge of Gulf biota through 2004, the book includes seventy-seven chapters, which list more than fifteen thousand species in thirty-eight phyla or divisions and were written by 138 authors from seventy-one institutions in fourteen countries. This first volume of Gulf of Mexico Origin, Waters, and Biota, a multivolumed set edited by John W. Tunnell Jr., Darryl L. Felder, and Sylvia A. Earle, provides information on each species' habitat, biology, and geographic range, along with full references and a narrative introduction to the group, which opens each chapter.

Mexican Tertiary Biostratigraphy and Paleontology by Stanley H. Frost Pdf

The Ixtapa area is situated in central Chiapas, the southermost state of Mexico ... The study area comprises about 360 square kilometers and is approximately 18 km. north-south by 20 km. east-west ... It is bounded on the north by the southwest flank f the Soyalo Anticline, on the northwest by the Soyalo-Chicoasen Anticline ... , on the south by the Pan American Highway and to the east by the high mountain east of Finca Javier Mina ... This report comprise s a detailed description of Late Eocene through Miocene marine sedimentary rocks in the Ixtapa area , a systematic and stratigraphic study of the Oligocene and Early Miocene scleractiniai and a systematic and stratigraphic description of the more abundant larger foraminifera. Older and younger rocks in the area are briefly considered and other fossils are cited but detailed discussion of these is reserved for other reports on the over-all project.
