On Specimens Of Eozoon Canadense And Their Geological And Other Relations (1888) - John William Dawson - Bog

On Specimens of Eozoon Canadense and Their Geological and Other Relations is a scientific book written by John William Dawson and published in 1888. The book is a detailed study of Eozoon canadense, a controversial fossil that was believed to be the remains of the earliest known form of life on Earth. Dawson, a Canadian geologist and paleontologist, presents his analysis of the fossil specimens and their geological context, arguing that they are not the remains of a living organism, but rather the result of mineralization and other geological processes. The book also discusses the history of the controversy surrounding Eozoon canadense, as well as its significance for the study of the Earth's early history and the evolution of life. Dawson's work is considered an important contribution to the field of paleontology and remains a key reference for researchers studying the early history of life on Earth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
