Problematic fossilsthose groups of organisms that do not fit conveniently into any existing phylumplay a pivotal role in the reconstruction of the history of life, being in effect 'early experiments.' This lavishly illustrated volume provides careful analyses and descriptionsin anatomical, functional, and developmental termsof most of the major problematic fossil taxa. Sixteen original papers, written by internationally recognized scholars, discuss the features that make these taxa problematic and that provide clues to their phylogenetic relationships. Since Precambrian groups have been well covered in the existing literature, Hoffman and Nitecki focus on Paleozoic, and especially Early Paleozoic organisms, although Precambrian biota are also discussed.
