Integration of ichnological information into sedimentological
models, and vice versa, is one of the main means by which we can
improve our understanding of ancient depositional environments.
Mainly intended for sedimentologists, this book aims to make
ichnological methods as part of facies interpretation more
popular, providing an analytical review of the ichnology of all
major depositional environments and the use of ichnology in
biostratigraphic and sequence stratigraphic analysis.

It starts with an introduction to the historical aspect of
ichnology, introducing common concepts and methods, and then
continues with parts treating the main depositional systems from
continental, shallow-marine and deep-marine siliciclastics, and
marine carbonates. The last part is dedicated to the ichnology in
hydrocarbon reservoir and aquifer characterization.
