“Jain’s new book ranks amongst the best reference tomes in reviewing current micropalaeontological knowledge and communicating this in a highly suitable form … . this book aptly demonstrates the amazing diversity of microfossils. Important is the fact that all chapters are organised and styled similarly, and their length is comparable, making this tome really comprehensive. … both clarity and brevity of explanations make this book an easy read for a wider audience, including those people who have only very elementary knowledge of microfossils, or none at all.” (Dmitry A. Ruban, Geologos, Vol. 26 (3), 2020)
This book provides practical morphological information, together with detailed illustrations and brief explanatory texts. Each chapter starts with a brief introduction, and goes on to describe the respective organism’s morphology in detail through numerous illustrations. This is followed by a brief note on its classification, and concludes with illustrated examples of stratigraphically important organisms through time with their major distinguishing characteristics. Featuring over 2500 clearly labelled, hand-drawn and classroom-friendly illustrations, the book offers a fundamental resource for budding palaeontologists, petroleum geologists and palaeobiologists.
