Book excerpt: TheChalk, a charateristic white limestone deposited across much of northern Europe during the Upper Cretaceous, contains a remarkably diverse and well preserved fossil fauna. Previously, descriptions of this important fauna were scattered throughout numerous specialist monographs. Here for the first time this book provides a pocket-scized field guide to the identification of the almost complete range of macrofossils likely to be encountered in the Chalk of Britain. Following a brief introduction there are 11 chapters each dealing with a specific fossil group, ranging from sponges to dinosaurs, and written by individual specialists. Almost 400 species are illustrated photographically in 59 plates and each is accompanied by a brief diagnosis to aid identification together with notes on its stratigraphical range and distribution. Numerous other species comparable with those illustrated are also discussed in the text and their diagnostic differences noted. In addition each chapter provides a guide to the more important monographs and specialist publications where a fuller account of each group might be found.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Excellent . . . Those who are interested in vertebrate paleontology or in the scientific history of the American midwest should really get a copy.” —PalArch’s Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology Revised, updated, and expanded with the latest interpretations and fossil discoveries, the second edition of Oceans of Kansas adds new twists to the fascinating story of the vast inland sea that engulfed central North America during the Age of Dinosaurs. Giant sharks, marine reptiles called mosasaurs, pteranodons, and birds with teeth all flourished in and around these shallow waters. Their abundant and well-preserved remains were sources of great excitement in the scientific community when first discovered in the 1860s and continue to yield exciting discoveries 150 years later. Michael J. Everhart vividly captures the history of these startling finds over the decades and re-creates in unforgettable detail these animals from our distant past and the world in which they lived—above, within, and on the shores of America’s ancient inland sea. “Oceans of Kansas remains the best and only book of its type currently available. Everhart’s treatment of extinct marine reptiles synthesizes source materials far more readably than any other recent, nontechnical book-length study of the subject.” —Copeia “[The book] will be most useful to fossil collectors working in the local region and to historians of vertebrate paleontology . . . Recommended.” —Choice

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 2018-02-02 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Cretaceous Fossils in the Museum of Practical Geology The following catalogue contains lists of fossils beginning with the Neocom'ian or Lower Greensand series of strata, for long known as Lower Cretaceous beds, and these are succeeded in ascending order by lists of the fossils of the Gault, Upper Greensand, and the subdivisions of the Chalk. Occasionally some geologists have been in doubtas to the precise geological nomenclature that ought to be applied to some of the strata mentioned in this catalogue. One of these, the Blackdown beds, has been referred by different persons to the Upper Green sand, the Gault, and the Lower Greensand, in whole or in part. At first sight it appears from ordinary physical considerations that they form outlying patches of the Upper Greensand, the whole of this large outlier of Greensands being fragments of a much larger extension to the west of the Upper Cretaceous series, for they are in places west of the river Axe and Ilminster, capped by patches of Chalk, and it has often been assumed that, as they now stand, they have been simply separated by denudation from. The main body of the Upper Cretaceous series which forms the country from Dorsetshire to Beachy Head, the North Foreland, and Flamborough Head.
