Atlas of Invertebrate Macrofossils:
Atlas of Invertebrate Macrofossils. J. W. Murray (editor). [ISBN 0 582 30099 1]. Out of Print - copies no longer available from the Association. Palaeobiology, A Synthesis
Palaeobiology, A Synthesis, edited by DEG Briggs and PR Crowther, was one of the great palaeontological publishing successes of the last 20
years. Originally produced in 1990 as a joint venture between the Palaeontological Association and Blackwell Scientific Publications, its encyclopaedic form made it an ideal and widely-used teaching reference across the world. The hard copy has been out of print for some years, and Blackwell's more recent 'Paleobiology' (by the same editors) does not cover exactly the same ground. Therefore The Palaeontological Association and Blackwells have arranged for the original 1990 text to be freely downloadable, chapter by chapter, to any interested person. Multiple copies may be taken, so this remains an ideal teaching resource.
Palaeontologia Electronica
The Palaeontological Association is also involved in sponsorship of Palaeontologia Electronica, a venture in WWW based palaeontological publication.
