Synopsis
Excerpt from The Correlation of Geological Faunas: A Contribution to Devonian Paleontology
In the year 1881 I began a series of investigations for the purpose of discovering the laws which determine the association of fossils in faunal aggregates and their modifications in relation to geographical distribution and to vertical succession, in order to apply those laws as guides to the correlation and classification of geological formations. While these investigations have been in progress many other workers have joined in the search. Many statistics have been gathered, and observations have been extended over a wide field. A few important results have been attained, and the nature of the problem is now more clearly understood than at the outset. It seems, therefore, that this is a fitting time to review the progress already made, and to point out the more prominent results achieved and the paths along which future investigations may be guided with most promise of success.

The Correlation of Geological Faunas: A Contribution to Devonian Paleontology
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the correlation of different fossil faunas found in geological formations, challenging traditional assumptions of classification and opening up new avenues for understanding geological history. The author, a leading paleontologist, introduces a dual nomenclature system to distinguish between faunal and formational classifications, arguing that fossil faunas can be analyzed separately from the rock formations in which they are found. Through detailed analysis of fossil distributions and ranges, the book demonstrates the independence of fossil faunas from formational boundaries and the importance of considering their geographic distribution and evolutionary relationships. This innovative approach provides a deeper understanding of the processes of faunal migration, shifting, and extinction, and sheds light on the complex interactions between organisms and their environment over geological time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330469125_0
