Stratigraphic paleobiology : understanding the distribution of fossil taxa in time and space /

Whether the fossil record should be read at face value or whether it presents a distorted view of the history of life is an argument seemingly as old as many fossils themselves. In the late 1700s, Georges Cuvier argued for a literal interpretation, but in the early 1800s, Charles Lyell & rsquo;s...
