Integration of ichnological information into sedimentological models, and vice versa, is one of the main means by which we can improve our understanding of ancient depositional environments. Mainly intended for sedimentologists, this book aims to make ichnological methods as part of facies interpretation more popular, providing an analytical review of the ichnology of all major depositional environments and the use of ichnology in biostratigraphic and sequence stratigraphic analysis.

It starts with an introduction to the historical aspect of ichnology, introducing common concepts and methods, and then continues with parts treating the main depositional systems from continental, shallow-marine and deep-marine siliciclastics, and marine carbonates. The last part is dedicated to the ichnology in hydrocarbon reservoir and aquifer characterization.

First overview in 25 years of the status of ichnological studies in facies reconstructions of all major depositional environments Written by a selected, well-experienced and specialized international authorship Provides easy access to the comprehensive and widespread literature

Spurenfossilien sind im Grenzgebiet von Geologie und Biologie angesiedelt. Die Reaktion der Organismen auf äußere Veränderungen bestimmt ihr Verhalten. Spuren dieses Verhaltens finden sich in fossilen Sedimenten und können somit zur Interpretation der ursprünglichen Umwelt herangezogen werden. Das Buch besteht aus zwei Teilen: Neoichnologie und Palaeoichnologie. Es enthält zahlreiche instruktive Zeichnungen, die speziell für dieses Buch angefertigt wurden. Ein ausführliches Glossary erleichtert den Einstieg in das Gebiet. Das Buch ist gedacht für Studenten und Wissenschaftler der Sedimentologie und Paläontologie.
