Publisher's Synopsis
Observations On Belemnites And Other Fossil Remains Of Cephalopoda is a book written by Gideon Algernon Mantell in 1848. The book is a detailed study of the fossil remains of cephalopods, specifically belemnites, which were a type of extinct squid-like creature that lived during the Mesozoic era. Mantell's observations are based on his own collection of fossils, as well as those housed in various museums and private collections. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the anatomy, classification, and evolution of belemnites, as well as other cephalopod fossils. Mantell's work is considered to be a significant contribution to the field of paleontology, and his observations have helped to shape our understanding of the history of these fascinating creatures.Discovered By Mr. Reginald Neville Mantell In The Oxford Clay Near Trowbridge, In Wiltshire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
