Industry Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

"Taphonomy remains an essential component in resolving biases inherent in the fossil record ... . Allison (Imperial College London, UK) and Bottjer (Univ. of Southern California) assembled an impressive cast of leading authorities for the completely rewritten second edition of Taphonomy ... . The text is well written and consistent across chapter authors, and ample illustrations and an extensive index ... . Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners." (C. A. McRoberts, Choice, Vol. 48 (10), June, 2011)
