In this updated edition, we dive into the world of fossils, focusing on the visible ones first. The extensive fossil-rich Jurassic System in Britain, discovered by William Smith, sparked serious fossil study. Dr. Davies chose brachiopods as the starting point due to their abundance in the Jurassic and Lower Carboniferous strata in the UK. We explore the fascinating world of brachiopods and then shift to lamellibranchs, the other bivalved group found on sea-shores and in Cainozoic deposits.
The description order of fossil animals in a supposed evolutionary sequence gets tricky after Protozoa, Porifera, and Coelenterata. Authors differ on whether to follow Coelenterata with Polyzoa or Annelida and the order before Chordata varies widely.
Most chapters have been revised, focusing on Brachiopoda, Trilobita, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, and Coelenterata. New info on fossil collection, preservation, and nomenclature is included, enriched the chapters on Cretaceous, Devonian, and graptolite zones.
