Свершилось! Стала доступна нужная и правильная книга, где с кучей примеров рассматриваются разнообразные методы и подходы (я, к своему стыду, о части из них и не слышал) в палеонтологии и биостратиграфии. Издательство Wiley предлагает данную книгу за деньги, но теперь её можно скачать и бесплатно, ссылка на книгу выложена на сайте Zoometod'a (см. http://zoometod.narod.ru/metod_paleo.html )

В общем, рекомендуется к вдумчивому ознакомлению

Detailed description
During the last 10 years numerical methods have begun to dominate paleontology. These methods now reach far beyond the fields of morphological and phylogenetic analyses to embrace biostratigraphy, paleobiogeography, and paleoecology. Paleontological Data Analysis explains the key numerical techniques in paleontology, and the methodologies employed in the software packages now available.

* Following an introduction to numerical methodologies in paleontology, and to univariate and multivariate techniques (including inferential testing), there follow chapters on morphometrics, phylogenetic analysis, paleobiogeography and paleoecology, time series analysis, and quantitative biostratigraphy

* Each chapter describes a range of techniques in detail, with worked examples, illustrations, and appropriate case histories

* Describes the purpose, type of data required, functionality, and implementation of each technique, together with notes of caution where appropriate

* The book and the accompanying PAST software package (see www.blackwellpublishing.com/hammer) are important investigative tools in a rapidly developing field characterized by many exciting new discoveries and innovative techniques

* An invaluable tool for all students and researchers involved in quantitative paleontology

UPD. Похоже, Zoometod получил доступ к неплохой подборке свежих зарубежных пылеонтологических работ
список тут: http://zoometod.narod.ru/paleo-2.html
скачаю всё подряд, потом разберусь
