Fossil Algae Recent Results and Developments

Editor: E. Fliigel

1977. 119 figures, 32 plates. XI, 375 pages ISBN 3-540-07974-2

Contents: Blue-Green Algae and Stromato­lites. - Green Algae. - Red Algae. - Prob­lems of AffInities. - Biometry. - Ultrastruc­ture. - Algae and Sedimentary Environ­ments.

" ... Strict editing has produced a volume of uniformly high quality ... Fossil Algae contains reviews of use for advanced students, and also brings together and effecti­vely interrelates research from diverse fields, making it useful for the specialist. It should be read by any geologist who works with sedimentary rocks containing fossil algae - as that encompasses most limestones and dolo­mites it is certain to have wide appeal." Marine Geology
