Prodromus of the Paleontology of Victoria: Or Figures and Descriptions of Victorian Organic Remains (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Discoveries and research in the field of geology in Victoria led to the publication of various books that built on the work of previous authors. This Third Decade of Victoria's Organic remains features illustrations of some of the most interesting fossils from Tertiary-era strata, whose dating is integral to understanding and classifying geological ages. Fossils of animals and plants are valuable tools for geologists to understand and establish the geological age of different strata of rock. One of the most fascinating discoveries presented in this book is the Thylacoleo carnifex, the first described type of a species that is now recognized as having existed in both Victoria and New South Wales. The book also features the first illustration showcasing the front teeth of this extinct "marsupial lion," allowing for its classification into the Paucidentata family. Alongside the Thylacoleo, the book presents other unique and scientifically significant fossils, including trilobites, gastropods, and cephalopods. The presence of the cephalopod Aturta zic-zac in Victorian deposits has important implications, especially for determining the age of the strata in which it was found, with the author speculating about the Oligocene or Lower Miocene age of these deposits. Together, the collection of fossils depicted in this book provides valuable insights into the diverse and rich ecosystem of prehistoric Victoria, giving readers a glimpse into the creatures that inhabited the region millions of years ago. The detailed descriptions and illustrations serve as valuable resources for scholars and provide an exciting exploration of Victoria's geological history for general readers.
