Beschreibung
This timely book documents marvelous brachiopod fossils from the Palaeozoic-Mesozoic transition of South China. Numerous beautiful pictures and detailed descriptions (specifically the measurements of body size) of brachiopod species are presented. Systematic discussion on the evolution of brachiopod biodiversity and morphological features across the critical interval is not only extremely important for paleontologists to understand the marine ecosystem evolution from the Palaeozoic to the Mesozoic, but also attractive for students who need to know about the end-Permian mass extinction.
The book distinguishes itself from other studies by its detailed study of the taxonomy, biodiversity and paleoecology of Permian-Triassic brachiopods from different palaeogeographic facies, especially from the deep-water environment in South China. The book also offers a unique study of the response of morphological features of brachiopods to palaeoenvironmental changes, providing insights for the process of Permian-Triassic crisis.

Collects numerous fossils of the latest Permian-earliest Triassic brachiopods of South China, especially those from deep-water facies Systematically describes the latest Permian brachiopods mainly based on the classification of recently-published Treatise and reviews some disputable species or even genera Offers detailed study of the taxonomy, measurements of body size, biodiversity and paleoecology of Permian-Triassic brachiopods from different palaeogeographic facies Analyses the response of morphological features of the latest Permian brachiopods from different water depths to palaeoenvironmental changes and compares with those from the Permian-Triassic transition, providing insights for the process of Permian-Triassic crisis
