Biological Consequences of Plate Tectonics New Perspectives on Post-Gondwana Break-up–A Tribute to Ashok Sahni
This book recognizes and celebrates the contributions of Professor Ashok Sahni to the field of paleontology. Prof. Sahni established a School of Vertebrate Palaeontology at Panjab University, Chandigarh, India, where he trained many of today’s vertebrate paleontologists of India. The book covers top...
