>The rich fossil record of the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains
of the United States is a gold mine for interested scientists. The
last thirty million years of Earth history are superbly chronicled
by a succession of fossil assemblages extending from the St.
Lawrence River to Florida. Marine scientists, paleontologists, and
systematic biologists alike need a thorough guide to interpret this
history.

Cenozoic Seas: The View from Eastern North America analyzes the
changing geography, the arrival and departures of ecosystems and
species, and the affect of climate on living things. The author
classifies all of the region's fossil-bearing formations and their
contents within a logical, descriptive framework of space and time,
providing a clear path for those studying evolution and extinction
within specific communities of organisms.

The book is also an excellent field guide for fossil collectors,
providing detailed information for all species illustrated. Many
organisms have never before been illustrated in a book on fossil
shells.
