micropaleontology

He was a pioneer of micropaleontology and palynology.

Micropaleontology deals with all microscopic fossil organisms, regardless of the group to which they belong.

Taxonomy and statistics are important parts of micropaleontology.

People who study micropaleontology are called micropaleontologists.

In his laboratory he worked as a consultant for oil companies, as well as teaching classes in micropaleontology and performing research.

In Brest, he teaches at undergratuate level (licence) : field geology, sedimentology and micropaleontology.

Protist fossils are then the main focus of micropaleontology, while plant fossils are the chief focus paleobotany.

After 1954, the Circular was incorporated into the Micropaleontologist, soon renamed Micropaleontology, published by the American Museum of Natural History.

His fields of interest are sequence stratigraphy, carbonate sedimentology, diagenesis, stratigraphy, rock-typing, and micropaleontology (particularly on the study of fossil calcareous algae).

Kenyon DH, Nissenbaum A. Melanoidin and aldocyanoin microspheres: implications for chemical evolution and early precambrian micropaleontology.

He has been engaged in research on marine micropaleontology and evolution of its environmental pattern for decades and has made creative contributions to the development of marine geology in China.

Emiliani studied geology at the University of Bologna in post-war Italy and earned his first doctorate in Geology (micropaleontology) also at Bologna in 1945.

Micropaleontology Press, a division of the Micropaleontology Project, a nonprofit organization with the mission of promoting the science of micropaleontology.

Indeed, these fossil colonies are so common that paleobiology, micropaleontology and paleobotany cite the Pre-Cambrian and Cambrian period as an "age of stromatolites" and an "age of algae."

The discovery of microorganisms in amber dating from the Triassic period 230 million years ago "opens up a whole new world for us, a new field of micropaleontology," Dr. Poinar said in an interview.

He received his M.A. in 1957 from Cornell University, specializing in stratigraphy, sedimentation and paleontology, and a Ph.D. in micropaleontology and palynology from New York University in 1965.

After receiving his Ph.D., Reiss was given the responsibility to establish a micropaleontology and stratigraphy laboratory in the Israel Geological Survey, where he became chief micropaleontologist and Director of the Paleontology Division.

Unlike the difficult-to-analyze and hard-to-interpret fossils of paleobotany (plants) and micropaleontology (microbes), and unlike the rarely found and poorly preserved skeletons of vertebrate paleontology, invertebrate fossils are usually both common and simple to identify.

Dr. Frontalini is Member of the Geobiology Center in Urbino University, Member of the Working Italian Group on Environmental Micropaleontology and of the International PALIS (Paleogene Integrated Stratigraphy) Project.

In addition to providing an excellent tool for sedimentary rock dating and for paleoenvironmental reconstruction - heavily used in both petroleum geology and paleoceanography - micropaleontology has also found a number of less orthodox applications, such as its growing role in forensic police investigation or in determining the provenance of archaeological artefacts.
