Description:

A combination of magnificent photographs and authoritative and well written text. The great succession of kinds of trilobites evolved in a world of changing geography and climate. How trilobites were preserved, the kinds of rocks in which they occur, and traces of their activity, are described in order to infer where they lived in ancient seas and their manner of life. Changes in form and recurring trends are discussed; and the search for evolutionary links between kinds of trilobites, as the basis for a natural classification, is reviewed.
