About This Antiquarian
European Book |
This European LONG OUT OF PRINT Antiquarian auction catalogue lists and describes 311+ Lots of highly collectible Rare Worldwide Natural History Specimens including MANY Fossils ! Illustrated are -- LOADS of fossils, from plants and invertebrates to complete vertebrate specimens -- as well as some rock specimens, mineral crystals and aggregates, shells, a collection of 35 British butterflies. I put 311+ lots because there are a bunch of goodies added with small letters after the main numbers!
Illustrated fossils include -- a Mosasaur skull including flippers, Great Elephant Bird egg, dinosaur egg and a cluster of 16+ eggs, Pterosaur skeleton in matrix, Triceratops horn, mounted cave bear skeleton (and skull); insects in amber, shrimps, crab and trilobites; Eocene leaves from the Ulrich quarries in Wyoming and other plant fossils; several complete articulated fish skeletons on matrix from Wyoming, and MORE!
WOWSERS! A really prima reference source for those interested in Natural History specimens, especially fossils! Size and locality/collecting data included for each. I have been collecting fossils (and recent examples of hard parts as comparative material) since I was a teenager, and got my Master's Degree in Palaeontology at the University of Madrid in Spain, and I found this kewl little book a treasure trove of loads of things I never could add to my own stash of goodies! Exactly what the fossil aficionado needs to update their personal computer interactive relational database of species and fine examples from the world over! Key to Periods and ages in years. Lavishly illustrated ! European Antiquarian Book in EXCELLENT+ Condition!! Return to |
