The growth history of a brachiopod is entombed in its shell, but research on fossil and living brachiopods has generated unanswered questions about these marine invertebrates. Several contributors to Brachiopods Past and Present comment on their differing structures and morphological detail. They use these as examples of ontogenetic and evolutionar

There has been a recent upsurge in research into structural geology and sedimentology of Wales. The breadth and the quantity of the activity, particularly in previously under-researched areas, is reflected. Chapters are arranged in approximate time order of the events described and new field data are set in their local tectonic context. Speculation on models for the plate tectonic setting of Early Palaeozoic Wales is included, with an examination of the necessary components.

The Advance Formation is a thin stratigraphic unit in the Williston Lake region of British Columbia, having a very restricted lateral distribution beneath a regional sub-Upper Ordovician unconformity. The formation consists of thinly bedded carbonates and shales deposited in a slope environment in three depositional episodes. Rocks of this age and lithology are unique in western Canada. The formation also contains abundant fossil brachiopods associated with several other fossil groups, including some of the oldest known solitary corals in North America. This publication compiles six papers on the Advance Formation, covering its stratigraphy, depositional environment, and biostratigraphy; brachiopod palaeontology; coral palaeontology and paleoecology; bryozoa palaeontology; gastropod palaeontology; and pelecypod palaeontology and paleoecology.
