Once the principles of paleoecology are outlined, the emphasis will be on microfossils to show how fossil data can be applied to solve problems in a range of different disciplines. Applications can ...

Over the centuries, wind, rain and snow carried microfossils from European lowlands, the United Kingdom and North Africa to the exposed glacier. Ice in this glacier site dates back tens of ...

Microfossils found around the world contain specimens that don’t look like modern cells. By analyzing certain bacteria in the Dead Sea that don’t contain cell walls, a new study theorizes how ...
