1942 Amer. Jrnl. Sci. 240 237 One particularly significant contribution of paleolimnology to glacial geology may be the derivation of an absolute chronology on the basis of quantitative counts of microfossils.
1948 Bull. Geol. Soc. Amer. 59 641 I have selected three distinctive features of the Green River formation to interpret in terms of the paleolimnology of the Eocene Green River lakes.
1994 Hydrobiologia 275–6 412/1 Palaeolimnology has been traditionally undertaken on relatively deep-lakes, where temporal resolution and preservation of microfossil assemblages is generally very good.
