Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Carboniferous Cephalopods is a scientific book written by Alpheus Hyatt and published in 1891. The book focuses on the study of cephalopods, a group of marine animals that includes squids, octopuses, and nautiluses, that lived during the Carboniferous period, approximately 359 to 299 million years ago. The book is divided into two main sections. The first section provides an overview of the Carboniferous period and the geological conditions that existed during this time. It also discusses the evolution and classification of cephalopods, their anatomy, and their behavior. The second section of the book is dedicated to a detailed description of the different species of Carboniferous cephalopods that have been identified. The author provides illustrations, diagrams, and photographs to aid in the identification and classification of these animals. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of cephalopods in understanding the evolution of marine life and the geological history of the Earth. The book is written in a technical language and is aimed at scientists, researchers, and students in the field of paleontology and marine biology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
