The Fossil Insects Of The Green River Shales (1878) - Samuel Hubbard Scudder - Bog

The Fossil Insects Of The Green River Shales is a scientific book written by Samuel Hubbard Scudder in 1878. The book explores the fossilized insect specimens found in the Green River Shales, a rock formation in the United States that dates back to the Eocene epoch. Scudder's work is considered a pioneering effort in the field of paleoentomology, as he was one of the first scientists to study and document the diverse range of insect species preserved in the Green River Shales. The book contains detailed descriptions and illustrations of the insect specimens, as well as analyses of their anatomical features and evolutionary relationships. Scudder's work provides valuable insights into the ancient ecosystems and biodiversity of the Eocene period, and remains a valuable resource for researchers and enthusiasts in the field of paleontology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
