Synopsis

Figures and Descriptions of the Palaeozoic Fossils of Cornwall, Devon, and West Somerset is a richly illustrated reference that catalogs fossil remains observed during the Ordnance Geological Survey in southwest England. This edition presents detailed descriptions and accompanying plates that help readers identify ancient marine life from the Devonian and related strata.

The book offers careful notes on many species, including cephalopods and other fossils, with attention to locality and variation. It blends observational science with practical illustration, making it a useful resource for students, collectors, and researchers who want to understand Devonian life and its fossils.

- Grounded, field-based descriptions that pair figures with measurements and locality context
- Platelike plates and magnified views to aid visual identification
- Explanations of shell structures, septa, siphuncles, and surface ornamentation
- Narrow discussions that connect individual forms to broader Paleozoic groups

Ideal for readers of historical geology, fossil collecting, and early paleontology, this edition supports both study and reference use.
