Paleontologists and geologists struggle with research questions often complicated by the loss or even absence of key paleobiological and paleoenvironmental information. Insight into this missing data can be gained through direct exploration of analogous living organisms and modern environments. Creative, experimental and interdisciplinary treatments of such ancient-Earth analogs form the basis of Lessons from the Living. This volume unites a diverse range of expert paleontologists, neontologists and geologists presenting case studies that cover a spectrum of topics, including functional morphology, taphonomy, environments and organism-substrate interactions.

Reviews for Experimental Approaches to Understanding Fossil Organisms
“The volume edited by Hembree et al. is a must read to specialists in experimental palaeontology. lt is also recommended strongly to professional palaeobiologists and ichnologists. Researchers in fossil arthropods, bivalves, crinoids, mammals, and some other creatures will find much useful there, too. Finally, some geochemists and sedimentologists have to pay attention to this book.” (Dmitry A. Ruban, Zentralblatt für ... Read more
