Birds With Teeth is a book written by Othniel Charles Marsh and published in 1883. The book is an extensive study of the fossil remains of birds that had teeth, a feature that is not present in modern birds. The author explores the evolutionary history of these birds and their relationship to other extinct and extant species. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a particular group of birds with teeth, such as the Hesperornithes, Ichthyornithes, and Odontopterygiformes. Marsh also provides detailed descriptions of the anatomical features of these birds and their habitats. The book is considered a landmark in the field of paleontology and has been influential in shaping our understanding of the evolution of birds. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of avian evolution and the study of ancient fossils.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
