Fossils provide a powerful tool for the study of the nearly 4-billion-year history of life, and its role in the evolution of Earth systems. They also provide important data for evolutionary studies, and contribute to our understanding of the extinction of organisms and the origins of modern biodiversity. Fossils At A Glance is written for students taking an introductory level course in paleontology. Short chapters introduce the main topics in the modern study of fossils. The most important fossil groups are discussed, from microfossils through invertebrates to vertebrates and plants, followed by a brief narrative of life on Earth. Diagrams are central to the book and allow the reader to see most of the important data “at a glance”. Each topic covers two pages and provides a self-contained suite of information or a starting point for future study. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and brought up to date. It includes new line diagrams as well as photographs of selected fossils

Excerpt from Catalogue of Casts of Fossils: From the Principal Museums of Europe and America, With Short Descriptions and Illustrations These casts are now - for the first time - offered to the Educational and Scientific Institutions of our Country, with the hope that their advantages in the illustration of the Science of Geology will be appreciated and be real. Those who examine the Catalogue here given, or glance at the Summary at its close, will see that the Zoological Series is very complete through nearly all its Classes and Orders, while the great Periods of Geological time are each well represented. Especial attention is, however, called to a few of the more prom incut and interesting objects. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Academy Series of Casts of Fossils: From the Principal Museums of Europe It is not expected that Academies or even Universities should aim at representing every living thing in nature. It takes royal wealth and centuries of time to finish one British Museum. But a glance at what is called a Geological Cabinet in the great majority of our Institutions, reveals a gross caricature: there are heaps of specimens of the same species (because they chance to be abnud ant in the neighborhood), and Palaeozoic Crinoids or Trilobites, Corals or Brachiopods preponderate, while the myriad forms which lived in the other great ages, as the gigantic vertebrates - so long the lords of creation, are utterly ignored. How is it possible for students to receive from such a collection any correct idea of ancient life? It may be asked, how our Cabinets can be rounded out and systematized by suitable additions? Good fossils are rare and costly in proportion, and only single specimens have been discovered of the relics of many extinct animals. If we explore our own country for these missing links, we meet with a difficulty in the general horizontality of the sedimentary strata, which renders them largely inaccessible, and in the great area of the ancient seas whose deeper portions away from the shores have sustained a fauna limited as to variety of kinds. For this cause and by reason of their general early age, we find here chiefly invertebrate species, and fewer of those higher and more important forms which enrich the strata of the Old World.
