Events across the Precambrian-Cambrian boundary brought about the most dramatic geological change in Earth's history: the appearance of invertebrates, including animals with hard parts, that began the Phanerozoic fossil record. This book provides an up-to-date review of the "Precambrian-Cambrian boundary problem" as seen by a group of experts active in this controversial area of research. For more than a decade, international groups have been unearthing new information about the sequence of events during this period, centered around the question of where to fix the actual boundary point. Using a chronological framework, the book gathers together information essential to the understanding of the evolutionary extinctions and events that brought the Precambrian period to an end.

This is a new and completely rewritten edition of the well-known text "Microfossils" (first published in 1980) covering all the major microfossil groups, with information on taxonomy, phylogeny, ecology and palaeoecology. Particular attention is given to the uses of microfossils in environmental reconstruction and biostratigraphy. It contains numerous line and half-tone illustrations. It also emphasizes on practical applications of micropalaeontology. Only student-friendly micropaleontology text is available.
