Excerpt from Prodromus of the Paleontology of Victoria: Or Figures and Descriptions of Victorian Organic Remains
The Decades will contain figures and descriptions in the first place of the more characteristic fossils of each formation, of which good specimens may be in the National Collection so that observers in the field may make use of them for preliminary or approximate determination of the geological ages of the strata they may meet. A portion of the impression of the plates will be kept back until a complete systematic treatise on the fossils of each formation may be issued when the materials approach completion.

Excerpt from Prodromus of the Paleontology of Victoria: Or Figures and Descriptions of Victorian Organic Remains
As the publications of a Geological Survey cannot properly be limited to the maps and sections, but would be incomplete without figures and descriptions of the fossil organic remains made use of for the determination of the geological ages of the different geological formations of the country, it has been determined to issue a "Prodromus" or preliminary publication of the Victorian Organic Remains in Decades, or numbers, of ten plates each, with corresponding letterpress, on the plan of the Decades of the Geological Survey of England, followed by the Geological Surveys of Canada, India, and several other Governments.
The Decades will contain figures and descriptions in the first place of the more characteristic fossils of each formation, of which good specimens may be in the National Collection; so that observers in the field may make use of them for preliminary or approximate determination of the geological ages of the strata they may meet. A portion of the impression of the plates will be kept back until a complete systematic treatise on the fossils of each formation may be issued when the materials approach completion.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330262856_0
