Echinoderms (which include such animals as sea stars, crinoids or sea lilies, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers) have left a rich and, for science, extremely useful fossil record. For various reasons, they provide the ideal source for answers to the questions that will help us develop a more complete understanding of global environmental and biodiversity changes. This volume highlights the modern study of fossil echinoderms and is organized into five parts: echinoderm paleoecology, functional morphology, and paleoecology; evolutionary paleoecology; morphology for refined phylogenetic studies; innovative applications of data encoded in echinoderms; and information on new crinoid data sets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699628343584,"sku":"NEW0253351286","price":63.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71FHa1v06CL.jpg?v=1779385645","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/echinoderm-paleobiology-life-of-the-past-0253351286","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
