Eocene Biodiversity: Unusual Occurrences and Rarely Sampled Habitats

Pp. xxi, 442; numerous text-figures (black-and-white photos, maps, stratigraphic sections, line-drawings of fossils, charts).  Publisher’s original pictorial laminated boards (hardcover), lettered in white on the spine and in yellow on the front cover, lg 8vo.  Topics in Geobiology, volume 18.  The aims of this book are twofold: (1) to document unusual or rare samples of Eocene fossils, and (2) to examine what sorts of new and different information can be gathered from these samples that is traditionally not available.  This research may include evidence from rarely sampled microhabitats (freshwater limestone deposits, for example) or different physiographic areas (upland areas that are almost never sampled, for example) (from the rear cover blurb).  Warmly inscribed by the editor on the title page.  No other ownership marks.
