Full Description

Vertebrate Ichnology: Fish Ichnology, Consumption, Burrows and Reproduction, Geoconservation is a comprehensive and meticulously researched review and analysis of the entire vertebrate trace fossil record, shedding light on lesser-known vertebrate traces beyond footprints. From vertebrate burrows to the ichnology of reproduction, each chapter provides valuable insights and up-to-date information. The book explores a wide range of topics, including consumption through coprolites, dentalites, regurgitalites, and other trace fossils that are evidence of vertebrate predation and consumption.

This authoritative reference provides students, researchers, and professionals in the field of Earth and Planetary sciences with updated information on the geological heritage of vertebrate ichnosites and their importance in geoconservation efforts.
