E. N. K. Clarkson 
Invertebrate Palaeontology and Evolution 

Invertebrate Palaeontology and Evolution is well established
as the foremost palaeontology text at the undergraduate level. This
fully revised fourth edition includes a complete update of the
sections on evolution and the fossil record, and the evolution of
the early metazoans.

* New work on the classification of the major phyla (in
particular brachiopods and molluscs) has been incorporated.

* The section on trace fossils is extensively rewritten.

* The author has taken care to involve specialists in the major
groups, to ensure the taxonomy is as up-to-date and accurate as
possible.
