0 the study of fossils as a way of getting information about the history of life on earth and the structure of rocks -- 古生物學
I looked in vain for the terms theropod, cynodont and perissodactyl and yet some 10% of the definitions are apparently devoted to palaeontology.
Investigations of regional tectonics included work on structural geology, stratigraphy and palaeontology, and collecting samples for palaeomagnetic and isotope age studies.
It is highly recommended to those interested in palaeontology at any level.
The first two chapters set the scene whilst the third introduces something of the palaeontology.
Additionally, there has been a lot of interest in the vertebrate palaeontology with attempts to integrate body and trace fossils.
It is a multi-disciplinary science that encompasses the disciplines of chemistry, biology, palaeontology, geology, atmospheric physics, planetary physics and stellar physics.
Against this, source rock evaluation and oil-oil/oil-source rock correlation are particularly well done, as is the application of palaeontology.
Palaeontology journals these days publish a regular stream of papers which deal with disintegration of this or that taxon.
