Synopsis

This book systemizes knowledge of extraneous fossils, which are organic remains replaced by minerals or preserved in a fossil state. The author presents new observations and classifications based on many years of research, arranging the study of extraneous fossils in the context of natural history and the known facts of geology. By emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between petrification, fossilization, and conservation, the author encourages further study of paleontology through the lens of these distinctions. The study of extraneous fossils serves as a gateway to understanding the history of life on Earth and the formation of the physical world as it is today.
