Description

This monograph presents the results of over 10 years of paleontological�and geological survey in the Baynunah Formation of the United Arab�Emirates. Exposed widely in western Abu Dhabi Emirate, the Baynunah�Formation and its fossils provide the only record of terrestrial�environments and evolution in the Arabian Peninsula during the late�Miocene epoch (12-5 Ma). This volume describes new fossils collected since 2002, presented�systematically by taxon, and including mammals, reptiles, and�invertebrates, as well as fossil trackways. The discoveries are framed�within the results of new geological, geochemical, and�geochrononological analyses, providing an updated and synthetic view of�the age, environments, and biogeographic relationships of this important�fossil assemblage.Typham this is the title: Sands of Time Ancient Life in the Late Miocene of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
