Fossilization : Fundamental Principles and Cases of Exceptional Fossilizations

There are many books devoted to palaeontology and fossils. However, none have yet dealt with the processes of fossilization, from the formation of the most common fossils to the more exceptional mineralization of animal remains, plants, micro-organisms and even molecules. Fossilization offers an exhaustive review of fossilization, combining an explanation of the processes involved, reference to the deposits that deliver the different types of fossils, and illustrations of representative specimens. As the exceptional fossiliferous sites of the French territory fully reflect the multitude of cases of fossilization – from the most common to the most original ¬– they are showcased here.Author: Moreau, Jean-David,author,Néraudeau, Didier,author Contributors: Moreau, Jean-David,author,Néraudeau, Didier,author Binding: hardcover Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: 1 Published/Release Date: 10 Sep 2025 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: ISTE Ltd Author/Director/Artist: Didier Neraudeau Dimension (cm): 234x156x14 mm Package Dimension (cm): 21x241x165 mm Item Weight (g): 486 Package Weight (g): 490
