This book provides practical morphological information, together with detailed illustrations and concise texts explaining each entry. The book details the morphological characters of each organism, providing fundamental information for palaeontologists and palaeobiologists alike. Each chapter starts with a brief introduction and goes on to describe the organism’s morphology in detail, followed by a brief note on classification and lastly illustrated examples of stratigraphically important organisms through time along with their major distinguishing characters. The book includes over 3000 clearly labelled, hand-drawn and classroom-friendly illustrations of over 1200 species.
“Fundamental of Invertebrate Palaeontology – Macrofossils” would be well suited for those aspiring to familiarize themselves with invertebrate palaeontology, and particularly students and amateurs attempting to identify and describe invertebrate macrofossils. Hence, this book by Professor Sreepat Jain would certainly serve as an excellent reference work for paleontology students or enthusiastic amateurs.” (Tom Trapman, Journal of Paleontological Techniques, April, 2018)
“Jain’s book will be very good companion to professional geologists and palaeontologists needing advice on any general or particular issue … students in palaeontology and their teachers, and amateurs trying to identify common fossils and wishing to extend their knowledge. … this volume is a treasure for all who are interested in the ‘classical’ palaeontology and stratigraphy … .” (Dmitry A. Ruban, Zentralblatt für Geologie und Paläontologie, Issue 3-6, 2017)
