مستخلص المنشور

Micropaleontology is designed to be a primary textbook for college courses in the marine microfossils for students in the Arab countries. This book will deal with an introductory survey of the major groups of microfossils, including calcareous, siliceous, phosphatic and organic-walled types (Foraminifera, Ostracodes, Calcareous Nannofossils, Radiolaria, and Conodonts). The skeletal anatomy, biology, mode of life, and geologic history of these benthic and planktic, marine and nonmarine organisms will be reviewed. Applications of micropaleontology to interdisciplinary research in biostratigraphy, paleoecology, paleoceanography, paleoclimatology and environmental science will be featured.
