The Study of Trace Fossils A Synthesis of Principles, Problems, and Procedures in Ichnology

In 1971 I published a review of ichnology other concentrating only on traces made (Houston AAPG: SEPM Trace Fossil Field by a certain group of organisms, regardless Trip Guidebook) that I thought could be of their setting. Nevertheless, needless re­ dundancy has hopefully been eliminated. expanded r...
