Notă biografică
Alexander Bartholomew is an Associate Professor at the State University of New York at New Paltz in the Department of Geology, having taught Stratigraphy and Paleontology for over 15 years. He earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in Geology from the University of Cincinnati and his B.S. in Geology from Union College. Alex's area of expertise is in Upper Silurian and Lower-Middle Devonian stratigraphy and paleoecology, spanning marine, marginal marine, and terrestrial environments in eastern North America. Alex is a Corresponding Member of the International Subcommission on Devonian Stratigraphy (SDS), is an organizer/field excursion leader for the upcoming SDS meeting and field excursion in New York State in 2022, and is co/lead author on several papers in the forthcoming New York State Museum monograph on Devonian Stratigraphy in New York State.
Donald R. Prothero is Research Associate in Vertebrate Paleontology at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. He taught college geology and paleontology for over 43 years, at such places as Caltech, Columbia University, Vassar College, Occidental College, Knox College, and Pierce College, and currently at Cal Poly Pomona He earned his M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. degrees in geological sciences from Columbia University, and a B.A. in geology and biology (highest honors, Phi Beta Kappa) from the University of California, Riverside. He is currently the author, co-author, editor, or co-editor of over 48 books and over 333 scientific papers, including 8 leading geology textbooks and 18 trade books as well as edited symposium volumes and other technical works.
Descriere
Ammonites are an extinct and charismatic lineage that persisted for over 300 million years. They were used, with other fossils, to corroborate the principle of faunal succession and launch the field of biostratigraphy.
Despite intense research, many important questions remain unanswered. Furthermore, outdated hypotheses persist. Many new findings include a better understanding of their appearance in life, their locomotion, and their role in long gone ecosystems. And, of course, there are still controversies; e.g. why did shell complexity increase during evolutionary history. This richly illustrated book describes the full range of ammonoids and their fascinating evolutionary history.
