Pacific - Atlantic Mollusc Migration : Pliocene Inter-Ocean Gateway Archives on Tjornes, North Iceland Paperback / softback
Edited by Jon Eiriksson, Leifur A. Simonarson
Part of the Topics in Geobiology series
Paperback / softback
Description
This volume sheds new light on the marine fauna and geological setting of the Tjo¨rnes Sequence, North Iceland, which is a classic site for the Pliocene and Pleistocene stratigraphy of the North Atlantic region.
Readers will discover descriptions of new data collected by the editors over a period of over three decades on marine faunal assemblages and sedimentology available for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions, as well as the tectonic and stratigraphical relationships on Tjo¨rnes Peninsula. The book includes a comprehensive account of all the collections of marine fossil invertebrate macrofossils and foraminifera known to the editors from the Tjo¨rnes Sequence.
It is expected to elucidate sedimentological and faunal changes from relatively stable Pliocene conditions to highly variable and periodically harsh climatic conditions of recurring Quaternary glaciations.
The distribution, recent or fossil, of various species is recorded and pertinent ecological and biological features are also discussed.
The Tjörnes Sequence records the Neogene migration of Pacific species into the North Atlantic.
Researchers in geology, climate science, environmental science and earth science will find this book particularly valuable.
