Zoology in the Rocks by David Nichols of the Department of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy in the University of Oxford
Geologists are interested in the conditions under which rocks were deposited as sediments, and in the environments in which the early animals, now preserved in them as fossils, lived. But the zoologist also has a contribution to make through the interpretation of the mode of life and behaviour of the fossils, by comparing them with closely-related forms that are living today. Dr. Nichols describes how this is being done.
