About the Book

This book provides an innovative approach to Stratigraphy, a field rich with complex terminology and a variety of geological formations. Traditionally, stratigraphy texts are full of technical terms, formation names, and fossil groups, making it difficult to find specific information without flipping through numerous pages. O.P. Mathur addresses this challenge by arranging the formations and fossils alphabetically, offering an easily accessible guide for students and researchers.

Stratigraphy, being the study of rock layers and their sequence, is often seen as an intricate system of ordered geological formations. The book emphasizes that stratigraphy is a language where each formation acts as a word, and fossils are closely linked to these formations. The alphabetical arrangement of both the formations and fossils enables quicker and easier access to information, saving time and effort for scholars.

Key Features:

1. Alphabetical Organization: By categorizing formations and fossils alphabetically, this book streamlines the search process, enabling users to quickly find the relevant details without sifting through lengthy sections of text.

2. Simplified Fossil Identification: The book’s list of fossils is organized in a way that aids in their quick identification, and their connection to the relevant geological formations is clearly mapped out, a task often difficult in traditional literature.

3. Fossil and Formation Grouping: The author helps to identify and group fossils into their respective fossil groups, making it easier for researchers to understand their geological context.

4. Stratigraphy as a Language: The author presents stratigraphy as an organized system of geological formations, emphasizing the importance of an ordered, chronological arrangement in understanding geological history.

5. Target Audience: This book is especially valuable for students, researchers, and professionals in geology, stratigraphy, and paleontology who are looking for a more efficient way to access stratigraphic and fossil-related data.
