description: This is the first text to combine both paleontology and paleobiology. Traditional textbooks treat these separately despite the recent trend to combine them in teaching. It bridges the gap between purely theoretical paleobiology and purely descriptive invertebrate paleontology books. The text is targeted at undergraduate geology and biology majors with the emphasis on organisms rather than dead objects to be described and catalogued. Current ideas from modern biology ecology population genetics and many other concepts will be applied to the study of the fossil record.
