Trace fossils, or ichnogenera, is one of the most active areas of paleontology today and play a vital role in modern sedimentary geology. This book will serve as a visual guide and reference to trace fossils, to be used in the lab.- a visual atlas with photographic examples of individual ichnogenera with the keys to their recognition and significance - provides summaries of the key environments where trace fossils are found, principle characteristics of trace fossils, and the relevance of trace fossils in different environmental systems- uses clear language rather than specialized jargon, making this atlas useful across many specialities within geology
