Past Environments of Mexico Unveiling the Past Environments of a Megadiverse Country Through its Fossil Record /

Mexico is a biodiverse country. The dynamics of environments from Mexico played a crucial role in the history of North American biota. This book analyzes the paleoenvironmental conditions using several biological groups and various methods. This book also demonstrates how this information is specifi...
