Description for Embryos in Deep Time: The Rock Record of Biological Development
Hardback. Can fossil embryos demonstrate evolutionary changes in reproductive modes? How have changes in ocean chemistry in the past affected the development of marine organisms? And, what can the microstructure of fossil bone and teeth reveal about maturation time, longevity and changes in growth phases? This book addresses these and other issues. Num Pages: 265 pages, 16 black & white photographs, 35 line illustrations. BIC Classification: RBX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 211 x 148 x 19. Weight in Grams: 522.

How can we bring together the study of genes, embryos and fossils? "Embryos in Deep Time" is a critical synthesis of the study of individual development in fossils. It brings together an up-to-date review of concepts from comparative anatomy, ecology and developmental genetics, and examples of different kinds of animals from diverse geological epochs and geographic areas.
