Excerpt from Life's Dawn on Earth: Being the History of the Oldest Known Fossil Remains, and Their Relation to Geological Time and to the Development of the Animal KingdomAN eminent German geologist has characterized the discovery of fossils in the Laurentian rocks of Canada as the opening Of a new era in geological science. Believing this to be no exaggeration, I have felt it to be a duty incumbent on those who have been the apostles of this new era, to make its significance as widely known as possible to all who take any interest in scientific subjects, as well as to those naturalists and geologists who may not have had their atten tion turned to this special topic.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
