  • New work on the classification of the major phyla (in particular brachiopods and molluscs) has been incorporated.
  • The section on trace fossils is extensively rewritten.
  • The author has taken care to involve specialists in the major groups, to ensure the taxonomy is as up-to-date and accurate as possible.
