Text/Sprache: Englisch , Versteinerte Urkunden Transl. from the German by Barbara M. Crook, Heidelberg science library ; Vol. 14 , This book, written for the non-specialist by the Professor of Paleontology at the University of Vienna, has a sound scientific basis. lt sets out to present paleontology, the science of organisms which lived before the geological present, in a manner that conveys some idea of the importance, the tasks, and the scope of this discipline. Fossils are the remains of once-living organisms, most of which have been extinct for many thousands of years. The oldest fossils are found in rocks more than 3000 million years old, the youngest in sediments some 10.000 years old. They give an insight into the abundance of vanished species of plants and animals and not only furnish proof of the existence of numerous extinct categories, but also provide clues concerning their distribution, origin and racial history. Fossils are thus the most important documentary evidence for the study of evolution. 3362A ISBN 354090039X Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 420. Seller Inventory # 27354
