Paleocene Faunas of the San Juan Basin, New Mexico is a scholarly work published in the Transactions of the American Philosophical Society, New Series, Volume 30. The book is authored by William Diller Matthew, a renowned paleontologist who specialized in the study of fossil mammals. The book focuses on the Paleocene epoch, a geological period that occurred around 66 to 56 million years ago. Specifically, it explores the faunas of the San Juan Basin in New Mexico, which is one of the most important fossil sites in North America. The book contains detailed descriptions of the various species of mammals, reptiles, and plants that lived in the area during the Paleocene, based on Matthew's extensive research and analysis of the fossils found in the basin. The book also includes illustrations and diagrams to aid in the understanding of the scientific concepts presented. This book is an important resource for paleontologists, geologists, and anyone interested in the history of life on Earth.Foreword By Edwin H.

Dinosaurs, by William Diller Matthew, is a classic zoology text and one of the first books published on the subject of dinosaurs. Paleontology deals with the History of Life. Its time is measured in geologic epochs and periods, in millions of years instead of centuries. Man, by this measure, is but a creature of yesterday--his "forty centuries of civilization" but a passing episode. It is by no means easy for us to adjust our perspective to the immensely long spaces of time involved in geological evolution. We are apt to think of all these dinosaurs merely as prehistoric--to imagine them all living at the same time and contending with our cave-dwelling ancestors for the mastery of the earth.
