Description: Lisboa, Serviços geologicos de Portugal, 1972. 4to (32.5 x 23.0 cm). 477 pp.; 22 plates, numerous text figures. Original printed wrappers. = A well-illustrated monograph. Dealing in particular with Echinodermata and including descriptions and illustrations of new and poorly known species. This is the thesis of the author, the French palaeontologist and geologist Jacques Rey (1940-2018)."With his death, the geological fellowship has lost a true colossus, not only among his peers in France, but also in the world’s stratigraphy. In the field of research, Jacques Rey devoted more than 40 years of his professional life to the investigation of major topics and problems, such as the stratigraphy of the sedimentary basins associated with the Atlantic, e.g., the Algarve Basin and especially the Lusitanian Basin (Portugal), where he conducted his doctoral research, the coastal basins of the Atlantic Margin of Morocco, as well as the north-eastern part of the Aquitaine Basin (France); the sequence stratigraphy of the sedimentary successions, in which he was one of the forerunners in France; the links between microfossil associations and their host sedimentary rocks. His scientific legacy is extremely rich, reflecting both the intensity and the interests of research that he carried out over the years. Professor Jacques Rey authored and co-authored nearly 300 scientific papers, abstracts, and books" (Metodiev). This thesis version is different from the edition in the survey's Mémoria 21 (Nova Serie), which is smaller. Some wear to the cover, in particular the spine head. Otherwise a very good, clean copy.
