Evolution and Geological Significance of Larger Benthic Foraminifera
Marcelle K. BouDagher-Fadel
Evolution and Geological Significance of Larger Benthic Foraminifera is a unique, comprehensive reference work on the larger benthic foraminifera. This second edition is substantially revised, including extensive re-analysis of the most recent work on Cenozoic forms. It provides documentation of the biostratigraphic ranges and paleoecological significance of the larger foraminifera, which is essential for understanding many major oil-bearing sedimentary basins. In addition, it offers a palaeogeographic interpretation of the shallow marine late Paleozoic to Cenozoic world.
Marcelle K. BouDagher-Fadel collects and significantly adds to the information
already published on the larger benthic foraminifera. New research in the Far East, the Middle East, South Africa, Tibet and the Americas
has provided fresh insights into the evolution and palaeographic significance
of these vital reef-forming forms. With the aid of new and precise biostratigraphic
dating, she presents revised phylogenies and ranges of the larger foraminifera. The book is illustrated throughout, with examples of different
families and groups at the generic levels. Key species are discussed and
their biostratigraphic ranges are depicted in comparative charts, which can be found at http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/10047587/2/Charts.pdf.
Dr Marcelle K. BouDagher-Fadel is a Professorial Research Fellow in the Office of the Vice-Provost (Research) at UCL. She graduated with a BSc from the Lebanese University and has an MSc and PhD from UCL. She has an extensive publication record, having written three major books and over 130 papers. She is an established consultant with several oil companies, lectures widely, and supervises PhD students from around the world.
