Monograph Of The Fossil Mammalia Of The Mesozoic Formations (1871)

""Monograph of the Fossil Mammalia of the Mesozoic Formations"" is a scientific book written by Richard Owen and published in 1871. The book is a comprehensive study of the fossilized remains of mammals that lived during the Mesozoic era, which spanned from approximately 252 to 66 million years ago. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different group of Mesozoic mammals, including marsupials, monotremes, and placental mammals. Owen's research is based on extensive fossil collections from various parts of the world, including Europe, North America, and Australia. The book contains detailed descriptions and illustrations of each species, including their physical characteristics, behavior, and evolutionary history. The author also discusses the geological context of the fossils, providing insights into the environmental conditions of the Mesozoic era and how they may have influenced the evolution of mammals. Overall, ""Monograph of the Fossil Mammalia of the Mesozoic Formations"" is a valuable resource for paleontologists, biologists, and anyone interested in the 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.
