Less is known in the West of the biology and geological history of China than of almost any other comparable area of the Earth's land surface. This book makes accessible to a wide readership a large volume of research that has hitherto only been available in Chinese. It provides a comprehensive survey and analysis of the biogeography of all major groups of fossil organisms in China throughout the Phanerozoic--about the last 600 million years of the Earth's history. As such, it will serve as a valuable reference for researchers in a range of disciplines: geology, stratigraphy, paleontology, ecology, biogeography, sedimentology, and those working in plate tectonics.
