About this book
Reviews
“Fossil Matter in the Geosphere … lays the groundwork and introduces students to the main types of organic matter, its chemical composition, how to characterize it, and the basics of its formation. The text is well written and appropriate for upper-division undergraduates or first-year graduate students. Each chapter starts with keywords, features highlighted boxes of important facts and information, and ends with references. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and graduate students.” (M. E. Lenczewski, Choice, Vol. 53 (5), January, 2016)
