Figures and Descriptions on Canadian Organic Remains is a book written by Elkanah Billings and published in 1858. The book is a comprehensive study of the organic remains found in Canada, including fossils and other geological specimens. Billings was a renowned paleontologist who spent much of his career studying the geology and paleontology of Canada, and his expertise is evident in this book. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different group of organisms. These include plants, insects, crustaceans, mollusks, and vertebrates. For each group, Billings provides detailed descriptions of the specimens he studied, along with illustrations and diagrams to help readers better understand their morphology and anatomy. In addition to his descriptions of individual specimens, Billings also provides a broader overview of the geological history of Canada. He discusses the different geological periods and the organisms that lived during each one, providing a fascinating glimpse into the ancient past of the country. Overall, Figures and Descriptions on Canadian Organic Remains is an important contribution to the field of paleontology and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of life on Earth. Billings’ meticulous attention to detail and his expertise in the field make this book an essential read for anyone interested in the study of fossils and other geological specimens.Additional Author: Thomas Rupert Jones.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
