The high-resolution sequence stratigraphy tackles scales of observation that typically fall
below the resolution of seismic exploration methods, commonly referred to as of 4th-order or …

The trace-fossil record provides a wealth of information to track the rise and early evolution
of animals. It comprises the activity of both hard-and soft-bodied organisms, is continuous …

The recurrence of the same types of sequence stratigraphic surface through geologic time
defines cycles of change in accommodation or sediment supply, which correspond to …

Ichnology is the study of traces created in the substrate by living organisms. This is the first
book to systematically cover basic concepts and applications in both paleobiology and …

Analyses of deltaic facies successions highlight recurring ichnological patterns that reflect a
variety of physicochemical stresses imposed upon infaunal organisms by the interaction of …

The facies characteristics of the shallow marine environment are largely determined by the
complex interplay and relative importance of wave energy, tidal flux, storm magnitudes and …

The ichnofacies paradigm endures as the elegant, unifying framework within which accurate
ichnological observations and their reliable environmental interpretations can be derived …

The shoreface is a seaward sloping, sandstone depositional wedge, and can be subdivided
into a lower, middle, and upper shoreface. The sediment wedge grades basinward into …

Trace fossils represent both sedimentological and palaeontological entities, providing a
unique blending of potential environmental indicators in the rock record. Trace fossils and …

Abstract Analysis of Neogene cores from the Eastern Venezuela Basin along 65 km of a
west–east trending shoreline allows characterization of the sedimentological and …
