Quick ViewModern marine turtles belong to an ancient group of reptiles inhabiting the Earth for over 110 million years, since the Cretaceous. Marine turtles depend on both marine and terrestrial habitats for their growth and development, from high energy beaches to benthic reefs, and the open waters of the seas. All seven species of sea turtles…

Quick ViewThis current book discusses the formation, distribution and environmental impacts of marine sediments. The first chapter describes the isolation, taxonomic approach, diversity, secondary metabolites and activities of actinobacteria. Chapter Two aims at the verification of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) usability as a textural indicator of rocks, with special emphasis on origin of fluid pathway…
