Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Cretaceous Fossils in the Brighton Museum This Collection of Sussex Chalk Fossils is the result of the loving labour of the leisure hours of ten years. My love of Natural History was directed into this channel through the casual acquaintance (when quite a boy) of the late gideon mantell, esq., LL.D. When, in 1841, I came to live at Brighton, I found that his valuable and interesting Collection had been removed to the British Museum. While the great Natural Storehouse of extinct Animal Forms still remained, the Fossils daily discovered in the large Chalk Quarries round Lewes were destroyed as worthless, because there was no one to care for them.

This book was released on 2018-04-28 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Fossil Reptilia and Amphibia in the British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, S. W, Vol. 1: Containing the Orders Ornithosauria, Crocodilia, Dinosauria, Squamata, Rhynchocephalia, and Proterosauria These types must always be of the highest importance to all students of Comparative Anatomy, and this Catalogue will furnish them with exact information as to the nature of the remains upon which the various genera and species were originally established. Such knowledge becomes all the more needful as so many genera and species of Dinosaurs and other Reptilia have been proposed based upon fossil remains referable to entirely different parts of the skeletons of individuals, thus rendering their correlation a matter of extreme difficulty, if not an altogether impossible task.

Download or read book Cretaceous Fossil Vertebrates written by David M. Unwin and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cretaceous Fossil Vertebrates takes a giant step towards filling in some of the temporal and geographic gaps in the record for the Cretaceous period. Despite an increased understanding of Cretaceous biotas, scientists have generally had to account for many temporal and geographical gaps in the record during this period. This important work helps to fill some of those gaps. In this volume, David Unwin describes new fossil vertebrates -- including snakes, sharks, lizards, crocodiles and dinosaurs -- that come from poorly known intervals such as the upper Lower and lower Upper Cretaceous, as well as poorly represented regions such as Madagascar and Japan. It is an exciting look at new fossil material that can provide major new evidence on the evolutionary events of this period.

Download or read book Dinosaurs and Other Extinct Saurians written by Richard Moody and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2010 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of dinosaurs and other large extinct saurians - a term under which the Victorians commonly lumped ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, pterosaurs and their kin - makes exciting reading and has caught the attention of palaeontologists, historians of science and the general public alike. The papers in this collection go beyond the familiar tales about famous fossil hunters and focus on relatively little-known episodes in the discovery and interpretation (from both a scientific and an artistic point of view) of dinosaurs and other inhabitants of the Mesozoic world. They cover a long time span, from the beginnings of modern scientific palaeontology in the 1700s to the present, and deal with many parts of the world, from the Yorkshire coast to Central India, from Bavaria to the Sahara. The characters in these stories include professional palaeontologists and geologists (some of them well-known, others quite obscure), explorers, amateur fossil collectors, and artists, linked together by their interest in Mesozoic creatures.

Download or read book The Emerald Planet written by David Beerling and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plants have profoundly moulded the Earth's climate and the evolutionary trajectory of life. Far from being 'silent witnesses to the passage of time', plants are dynamic components of our world, shaping the environment throughout history as much as that environment has shaped them. In The Emerald Planet, David Beerling puts plants centre stage, revealing the crucial role they have played in driving global changes in the environment, in recording hidden facets of Earth's history, and in helping us to predict its future. His account draws together evidence from fossil plants, from experiments with their living counterparts, and from computer models of the 'Earth System', to illuminate the history of our planet and its biodiversity. This new approach reveals how plummeting carbon dioxide levels removed a barrier to the evolution of the leaf; how plants played a starring role in pushing oxygen levels upwards, allowing spectacular giant insects to thrive in the Carboniferous; and it strengthens fascinating and contentious fossil evidence for an ancient hole in the ozone layer. Along the way, Beerling introduces a lively cast of pioneering scientists from Victorian times onwards whose discoveries provided the crucial background to these and the other puzzles. This understanding of our planet's past sheds a sobering light on our own climate-changing activities, and offers clues to what our climatic and ecological futures might look like. There could be no more important time to take a close look at plants, and to understand the history of the world through the stories they tell. Oxford Landmark Science books are 'must-read' classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas, and shaped the way we think.
