The ichnology of shallow-marine and transitional environments

Abstract

The ichnology between marine and non-marine environments is a key field of work concerning the understanding of the variation of environmental parameters in inland-to-offshore transitional environments. In order to understand the geological and palaeobiological processes at these locations, this Special Publication attempts to discuss records in shallow-marine and transitional environments throughout the Phanerozoic, including topics such as ichnotaxonomy, ichnofacies analysis, ichnofabric analysis for records from both shallow- marine and transitional environments, and neoichnological aspects. The volume includes 14 papers in total: one focused on aspects of neoichnology in rock iguanas in coastal settings, nine concerning various shallowmarine palaeoenvironment topics and four addressing issues about dinosaur tracks in transitional environments.
