From the Harvard office library of the paleontologist and leading advocate for evolution, Stephen Jay Gould. With a tipped in bookplate indicating the provenance. *** Intellectually, Gould understood the true nature of these bookplates, but the book collector in him appreciated them.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development of select Silurian brachiopod species based on meticulous study of nearly fifteen thousand fossil specimens, many less than five millimeters in length. The existence of these immature forms preserved in the shales at Waldron, Indiana, provides unparalleled insight into the early life stages of these creatures, revealing that the diagnostic characters of species of this genus may not be assumed until the earlier stages of the existence of the shell have passed. Moreover, the work offers a detailed study of changes in the form, structure, and surface ornamentation of the shells as they age, providing a comprehensive account of their developmental biology. The detailed examination of cardinal areas and hinge structures is especially valuable, as it exposes new facts about the development of the brachiopoda and helps to illuminate obscure and anomalous features. 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.…
