The Geological Magazine, or Monthly Journal of Geology, Vol. 2: January December, 1865 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Geological Magazine, or Monthly Journal of Geology, Vol. 2: January December, 1865
Eozoon Canadense, with its free growth, cell by cell, over the large area of a square foot, and tier above tier for five or six inches, far exceeds even the wildest and most zoophytic or Sponge-like of its existing representatives; and in this light we might think of it as a more repetitive and less specialized form; but it stands higher than the free-growing forms that we know, for it has a shell~ structure of as delicate and high an organization as the highest Foraminifer - Nummulina. To that species it may be said to supply a free-growing form or condition, such as other species have; but, that this old Laurentian creature was essentially lower in the scale of being than its young Nummuline brother, is not the opinion of Dr. Carpenter, who has thought over it with the results of Dr. Dawson's and his own examination of the fossil before him.
