Sinopsis de Cenozoic seas: the view from eastern North America

Presents detailed descriptions of the oceanography and geography of Eastern American coastal seas--Oligocene-Pleistocene--and their subsea intervals. Covers a 35 million year span, from early Oligocene to Recent. Discusses more than 120 molluscan-dominated communities, and lists 4,000 molluscan index fossils. Offers 34 maps that detail coastlines, island chains, and reef systems of prehistoric seas. Provides digital illustrations of more than 660 gastropods, including 62 cowries, 115 muricids, 51 cones, 55 busycons, 24 volutes, 23 strombids, and 19 olivids. Illustrates fossils of bivalves, corals, echinoids, crustaceans, and petrified wood. Employs the different methodologies that the coastal paleoceanographer must use in this interdisciplinary field.
