About this title

Synopsis

The Formation Of Geodes: With Remarks On The Silicification Of Fossils (1908) is a scientific book written by Ray Smith Bassler. The book focuses on the formation of geodes, which are hollow rock formations that are often lined with crystals. Bassler explores the various processes that lead to the formation of geodes, including the deposition of minerals and the dissolution of rock. The book also includes remarks on the silicification of fossils, which is the process by which fossils are replaced with silica. Bassler discusses the various factors that can lead to silicification, as well as the implications of this process for the study of fossils. The book is written in a technical style and includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the complex processes involved in the formation of geodes and the silicification of fossils. Overall, The Formation Of Geodes is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the geology and paleontology of the earth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
