Nevertheless, needless re­ dundancy has hopefully been eliminated. expanded rather easily into a worthwhile Some of the chapters are more special­ book on the subject. I probed that possi­ ized than others (because of the nature of bility for a while, thinking that I would particular topics); hence, these may be write the book myself. As I began to out­ somewhat less familiar or "comprehensible" line the chapters in more detail, however, than others-depending upon the reader's it soon became apparent that my personal own interests and background. Other dif­ knowledge of too many facets of ichnology ferences in the scope and content of vari­ scraped bottom all too soon. I quickly de­ ous chapters stem from the simple fact cided that a better book could be produced that a considerably greater backlog of pre­ by soliciting specific contributions from vious work is available in certain facets of other workers who, collectively, had first­ ichnology than in others. But we hope hand experience with virtually every aspect that all of the chapters will prove to be use­ of the field.
