Abstract

This volume provides a detailed description of a wide range of numerical, statistical or modeling techniques and novel instrumentation separated into individual chapters written by paleontologists with expertise in the given methodology. Each chapter outlines the strengths and limitations of specific numerical or technological approaches, and ultimately applies the chosen method to a real fossil dataset or sample type. A unifying theme throughout the book is the evaluation of fossils during the prologue and epilogue of one of the most exciting events in Earth History: the Cambrian radiation.

Abstract

Il y a plus de 500 millions d'années, d'étranges créatures peuplaient les mers: Opabinia avec ses cinq yeux et sa trompe frontable, anomalocaris, redoutable prédateur à mâchoire circulaire, hallucigenia, dont l'anatomie justifie amplement le nom. Cette faune, fossilisée dans le schiste de burgess, est si extraordinaire qu'il a fallu près d'un siècle pour en reconnaître l'originalité. Cette véritable révolution scientifique conduit à une profonde remise en cause de nos conceptions traditionnelles. Il nous faut désormais regarder l'évolution comme un ensemble d'évènements à la fois parfaitement logiques et susceptibles d'être rigoureusement expliqués en rétrospective, mais absolument impossibles à prédire et non reproductibles.
