Two Original Paleontology, Geology Research Papers by Ronald R. West, 1972, 1977

Description: Two Original Paleontology, Geology Research Papers by Ronald R. West, 1972, 1977 Ronald R. West was the Professor of Paleobiology at Kansas State University between 1969-2015, a position he was hired for upon receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma in 1970. When I was conducting paleoecology studies in the early 1980s, the primary source of the most innovative thinking on paleoecology was developed by Professor West, who gave me these two reprints in 1982 (and inscribed one of them); both are in very good condition. These are long out-of-print reprints that anyone studying the North America Carboniferous period or the organism-substrate relationships from the geologic past should have. The two papers, of which I included selected pages in the listing photos, are: Relationship Between Community Analysis and Depositional Environments: An Example from the North America Carboniferous, published in the 24th International Geologic Conference (IGC), pp. 130-146, 1972 (-1/4 in. by 6-3/8 in.)Organism-Substrate Relations: Terminology for Ecology and Palaeoecology, published in Lethaia Volume 10, pp. 71-82, 1977 (9-7/8 in. by 6-7/8 in.) A Word About the Lethaia Journal: Lethaia is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal of Earth Science, covering research on paleontology and stratigraphy. Now published by Scandinavian University Press, it was originally published by the International Commission on Stratigraphy. Note: This is an opportunity to own a long out-of-print Pennsylvania Geology Survey and New Jersey Geological Survey references from a time when they issued print versions of the State’s most important geological studies. I’ve had this reference, unmarked and complete since it was first made available. It is part of my entire expansive geological reference library (including many rare and vintage books from the 19th century) that I am selling as I approach retirement (please see my other auctions or search for “Geology" or under my eBay account "Rockman58"). *Please see my other auctions; I’m selling a number of more recent geological reference books and State geological publications, other miscellaneous books. Combining multiple sales of books for combined shipping is absolutely possible if they are purchased during the same week. Ignore the combined shipping price that eBay might show you, all they do is add all the shipping costs together - I will combine your purchases and quote you a revised shipping price. Thanks.***Please note: if you are bidding on a used or antique book. I do my best to accurately describe each book and identify any flaws it may have. If you have specific questions regarding its condition, please ask. I grade the books from visual inspection by browsing through to check for major defects but each page is not individually graded. Unless stated otherwise, some books will contain signs of wear and age which is normal within their age category.*****I have highlighted the Media Mail option for maximum cost savings for shipping books; however, please note that those delivery times can be as much as 7-10 days, per the USPS, depending on your location relative to where I am in southeast Pennsylvania.*******Please consider All Sales to be Final, with no returns. Please be sure that this is the item you are looking for prior to bidding. If you have any questions about the content or condition of an item, please ask prior to placing a bid. Also, I can work with you to combine shipping on multiple auction wins to save you extra shipping costs. ****
