Abstract:
The application of numerical techniques within palaeoentomology has been sporadic and of a largely simplistic nature. In particular, the assessment of faunal similarity has relied mainly upon subjective value judgements; similarly, the reconstruction of past climates using fossil Coleoptera has been undertaken with only a limited application of numerical methods. This thesis presents a computational approach to these problems. Although the intrinsic properties of palaeoentomological sample units impose limitations on the validity of a statistical analysis of faunal similarity, the use of such

Abstract:
Applications in paleontological research are far from being limited to taxonomic collection and identification. Nor is such research limited to working solely on fossil data. Actualistic paleontology is the study of modern or recent organisms and processes to better understand those of the past. The bulk of this body of research falls under the category of actualistic paleontology, and examines geochronological methods and error biases in dating biological specimens ranging in age from modern to thousands of years old. Although such methods are arguably not perfect, error rates of ± a few

Abstract:
Coastal environments are important in many ways: they provide food and energy for coastal communities, have a variety of unique biologic habitats, and influence global climate. These environments can change due to either anthropogenic or natural phenomena over a wide range of time scales. However, the often overlooked long-term (centennial to millennial) processes may be hidden behind short-term fluctuations observed today. The need for a reference baseline of coastal habitats provides a new opportunity for paleontology, which is ideally equipped to document the long-term trends and reconstruc

Full text
Abstract:
The morphologic variability of a fossil assemblage is of interest in many paleontological studies. However, many fossil assemblages are time-averaged; that is, many generations of non-contemporaneous organisms are mixed into the same fossil bed. Assemblages of robust mollusk shells deposited in nearshore marine environments are often time-averaged over 100's to 1000's of years. Mixing many generations of a taxon can increase measured morphologic variability over that of a single generation if morphology is changing during the interval of time-averaging. If morphology is changing, time-aver

Abstract:
Diverse, well preserved organic-walled phytoplankton assemblages were recovered from the Tertiary section of the Oak Grove core drilled on the Virginia Coastal Plain. Strata penetrated include the Aquia, Marlboro Clay, and Nanjemoy Formations (Paleocene to Eocene) of the Pamunkey Group and the Calvert and Choptank Formations (Miocene) of the Chesapeake Group. The assemblages are composed of 176 dinoflagellate species and subspecies (82 genera), of which 20 species and subspecies and one combination are new; five acritarch species (two genera) and five chlorophyte species (three genera) are als
