Synopsis
Sediments from the world's ocean floors and other water body basins hold a wealth of information about organic life as we know it. Organic Matter: Productivity, Accumulation, and Preservation in Recent and Ancient Sediments addresses focusing on the production, accumulation, and preservation of organic matter in marine and lacustrine sediments. Contributors to this important monograph cover a range of geologic ages from recent times back to the Permian Era, as well as temperature and organic matter types. This resource book will be of interest and benefit to petroleum explorationists and researchers, as well as oceanographers, marine and environmental scientists, sedimentologists, geochemists and paleontologists.

    Shipping time was reasonable. I will say that the item was very well packaged with board to stop the book bending, something not every seller will do. My only gripe is there were two loose pages. Not a deal breaker as it is a reference book, and the references are there, I just think this should have been pointed out as part of the description so there is no disappointment for the buyer.

    A++ transaction. Speakers are as described showing the signs of 40 year-old speakers and sound fantastic! Arrived well-packaged. Shipping, while not seller's fault, was slow taking 11 days for a trip that can be as little as 2-3 days. Not the first time lately that eBay shipments have been extraordinary slow considering point of origin and destination. Thanks

    Item description was incorrect Item did not include all the elements listed. When I contacted seller they asked if looked at the item photos. Answer: The seller only put one photo of the item up which did not show the elements included (complete product). The description did. This seller is dishonest. (Had they included more photos it would have been obvious that the item was not worth purchasing) I will never buy from them again and I would advise other buyers to avoid this seller
