Paleobiodiversity and tectono-sedimentary records in the Mediterranean Tethys and related Eastern areas: proceedings of the 1st Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (CAJG-1), Tunisia 2018 (1st ed. 2019.)

This edited volume contains the best papers accepted for presentation during the 1st Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (CAJG-1), Tunisia 2018.

The volume shares the latest results from paleontological, biostratigraphic and sedimentological studies by experienced researchers mainly from research institutes in the Mediterranean and Middle East.

Main topics include: paleontology, biostratigraphy, sedimentology, paleoclimatology and geomorphology.

Some new insights are given on paleobiodiversity and major biological tools for biostratigraphy, patterns, mechanisms and processes of meso-cenozoic sedimentation in the Mediterranean and Middle East.

In particular, case studies are included to highlight the major controlling factors of Tethyan biosphere-geosphere interactions as inferred from the Mediterranean and Middle East regions.

The book is of interest to all researchers in the fields of different disciplines involved in the sedimentary geology.
