Ichnoentomology Insect Traces in Soils and Paleosols

Ichnoentomology Insect Traces in Soils and Paleosols / by Jorge Fernando Genise.

This book is devoted to the ichnology of insects, and associated trace fossils, in soils and paleosols. The traces described here, mostly nests and pupation chambers, include one of the most complex architectures produced by animals. Chapters explore the walls, shapes and fillings of trace fossils f...
