Stratigraphic Paleobiology of Nonmarine Systems

The principles of stratigraphic paleobiology can be readily applied to the continental fossil record. From these principles, stratigraphic paleobiology can be used to make various predictions. Few studies have addressed most of these predictions, making stratigraphic paleobiology of continental systems a promising area of investigation.
