Book Overview

The Fossil Insects of the Green River Shales is a scientific book written by Samuel Hubbard Scudder in 1878. It is a comprehensive study of the fossilized insects found in the Green River Formation, a geological formation located in the western United States. The book includes detailed descriptions and illustrations of over 3,000 insect specimens, including beetles, flies, ants, and dragonflies, among others. Scudder provides a thorough analysis of the morphology, taxonomy, and evolutionary history of these ancient insects, shedding light on the ecological and environmental conditions that existed during the Eocene epoch, which lasted from 56 to 33.9 million years ago. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of paleoentomology and has been widely cited and referenced in subsequent research. It is a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, and enthusiasts interested in the study of prehistoric life and the evolution of insects.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
