Excerpt from Monograph of American Corbiculadae: Recent and Fossil, Prepared for the Smithsonian Institution In the present Monograph of American Corbiculadae, prepared at the request of the Smithsonian Institution, it is proposed to show the present state of our knowledge of the species, both recent and fossil, which inhabit North and South America. It contains descriptions of all the genera of the family, whether represented on this continent or not, descriptions of the species found in North and South America, notices of their geographical range, references to the collections in which authentic types of many of the species are known to exist, and comparisons of the different species with others of the same genus, indigenous and foreign. I have been able to identify to my entire satisfaction very nearly all the species described as from America, and the instances in which I have not been successful, are duly noted in the text accompanying the description of the species. I am aware of the fact that some of the genera adopted in these pages, based chiefly upon characters drawn from the shell alone, ought not to be retained with their present limits; nevertheless our knowledge of the soft parts of the species of this family is still so very imperfect that no other course is open to me but to preserve for the present the genera as I find them, however defective they may actually be. It will soon be necessary, in order to keep pace with other departments of natural history, to introduce some modifications in the limits of the genera of the Corbiculadae, but no really satisfactory or permanent result will be attained until a careful examination of the soft parts shall have been made.

The fascinating story of how the fossils of dinosaurs, mammoths, and other extinct animals influenced some of the most spectacular creatures of classical mythology Griffins, Centaurs, Cyclopes, and Giants—these fabulous creatures of classical mythology continue to live in the modern imagination through the vivid accounts that have come down to us from the ancient Greeks and Romans. But what if these beings were more than merely fictions? What if monstrous creatures once roamed the earth in the very places where their legends first arose? This is the arresting and original thesis that Adrienne Mayor explores in The First Fossil Hunters. Through careful research and meticulous documentation, she convincingly shows that many of the giants and monsters of myth did have a basis in fact—in the enormous bones of long-extinct species that were once abundant in the lands of the Greeks and Romans. As Mayor shows, the Greeks and Romans were well aware that a different breed of creatures once inhabited their lands. They frequently encountered the fossilized bones of these primeval beings, and they developed sophisticated concepts to explain the fossil evidence, concepts that were expressed in mythological stories. The legend of the gold-guarding griffin, for example, sprang from tales first told by Scythian gold-miners, who, passing through the Gobi Desert at the foot of the Altai Mountains, encountered the skeletons of Protoceratops and other dinosaurs that littered the ground. Like their modern counterparts, the ancient fossil hunters collected and measured impressive petrified remains and displayed them in temples and museums; they attempted to reconstruct the appearance of these prehistoric creatures and to explain their extinction. Long thought to be fantasy, the remarkably detailed and perceptive Greek and Roman accounts of giant bone finds were actually based on solid paleontological facts. By reading these neglected narratives for the first time in the light of modern scientific discoveries, Adrienne Mayor illuminates a lost world of ancient paleontology.

The user This manual is designed for the use of geo-scientists with an interest and need in developing palaeobiological materials as a potential source of data. To meet this objective practical procedures have been formatted for use by both professional and semi professional students with an initial understanding of palaeo biological research aims as a primary source of scientific data. I have attempted to provide an explanation and understanding of practical procedures which may be required by students undertaking palaeobiological projects as part of a degree course. The layout of this manual should be particularly beneficial in the instruction and training of geotechnologists and museum preparators. Graduate students and scientists requiring an outline of a preparation procedure will also be able to use the manual as a reference from which to assess the suitability of a procedure. This manual is also intended for use by the "committed amateur". Many of the techniques described in this manual have been devised by non-palaeontologists, and developed from methods used in archaeology, zoology and botany, as well as other areas of geology. A considerable number of the methods can be undertaken by the amateur, and in the case of many of the field procedures, should be used. This will ensure that specimens and samples can be conserved in such a manner as to facilitate any later research, and not invalidate the results of subsequent geochemical analytical techniques which might be employed.
