Discover the Secret World of Microfossils Hundreds of photographs showcase the fascinating world of microfossils, revealing their importance in understanding our planet's history. These tiny fossils, found everywhere and yet invisible to the naked eye, hold secrets of 3 billion years of evolutionary history. Geologist Patrick De Wever delves into the mysterious world of microfossils, explaining how they are used in age-dating and paleoenvironmental reconstruction, crucial for industries such as oil and gas. He also shares surprising stories of their role in solving crimes and uncovering natural wonders like the white cliffs on France's north coast. From their applications to their discovery, De Wever sheds light on the significance of microfossils, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in science, biology, or the natural world.
