Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores paleontological discoveries in and around Vancouver, British Columbia, where the author, along with a Mr. Richardson, uncovered rich fossil beds between 1871 and 1875. Their finds from the Comox and Nanaimo areas, namely, marine invertebrates and plant fragments, provide a window into ancient life existing millions of years ago. Notably, the author discovered a new species of fossil cephalopod, the Nautilus Suciensis. The book offers up detailed descriptions of numerous fossil finds, complete with plates including stunning illustrations of the specimens collected during this period of discovery. The author meticulously groups and analyzes each fossil's characteristics with the intention of establishing their taxonomy.
