Description

Special Publication 376

This volume presents results of a variety of case studies documenting the Late Palaeozoic climate changes and cyclicity of deposition. The collected papers cover many aspects related to palaeoenvironmental analysis with sedimentological, stratigraphic, palaeobiological, geochemical, and palaeomagnetic studies of the fossil record around the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age and soon after. They span a stratigraphic interval from Carboniferous to Permian–Triassic transition around the world.

This book comprising results for a range of disciplines, is a valuable source for not only researchers who are actively working on specific aspects of the Late Palaeozoic and looking for an up-to-date reference on this inhospitable  time in the Earth’s history. It is also of interest to climate modellers and the wider scientific community with an interest in the latest research on the decline of the Palaeozoic World.

Review featured in Geologos 20.4

……I found many of the studies to be fascinating from both a scientific and descriptive science perspective. I was encouraged to read several studies that applied new analytical techiques in an attempt to answer longstanding sedimentological questions and/or challenge established ideas. In particular, I was appreciative of those studies whose climatic interpretations were made with an eye towards physically-constrained numerical modelling results (e.g., Roscher et al., 2011; Horton et al., 2012), and would encourage papaeoenvironmental researchers to consider this dynamics-based approach in future endeavours.

The papers here range in topic from analyses of the characteristic sedimentary cycles, to palaeontological or isotopic patterns shown by various fossil groups.
These studies are consistently detailed, well-illustrated, closely described and discussed, and build up a mosaic of geological process and product in this phase of Earth history.
…..a solid and worth-while compilation:both source-book and reference book that will be very useful – and perhaps indispensable – to those who are researching the many geological enigmas of the late Palaeozoic.

This part of the book is very well integrated and the component papers have been carefully selected. This most probably results from the personal interest of the book editors, A Gasiewicz and M Slowakiewicz, whose scientific activity is focused on the widely interpreted geology of the Southern European Permian Basis...worthwhile for all geologists who investigate Late Palaeozoic successions.

In conclusion, this excellent set of case studies can be thoroughly recommended and it needs to be in all institutional libraries.
