Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is focused on the paleontology of the Oligocene epoch of Western Washington, summarizing the author's 1918 work on the geology and paleontology of the area. The then-recent (to 1918) geologic history of the region from the end of the Eocene to the Oligocene is comprehensively examined. Drawing on extensive field research, the author presents a detailed examination of the Oligocene faunas occupying three distinct areas: between Oakville and Porter; between Helsing Junction and Centralia; and between Winlock and the Cowlitz River. Each region is believed to be part of a long narrow marine embayment extending from Grays Harbor along the Chehalis Valley. The author posits that the Oligocene epoch in Western Washington was marked by tectonic uplift, folding, and erosion during the latter part of the Eocene, which resulted in a marine embayment. This intriguing hypothesis, and the survey of faunal assemblages that support it, offer valuable insights into the paleontology and paleogeography of the Pacific Northwest and contribute to our understanding of the region's Cenozoic history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers new species, including the fossil remains of various mollusks, from the Eocene period at two different sites in Virginia. The author provides a historical perspective on past discoveries and the geographic and geological conditions of the area during the Eocene period. The detailed descriptions of the fossils, complemented by illustrations, offer valuable insights into the diverse marine life that existed millions of years ago. By comparing the discovered species with existing ones, the author sheds light on the evolutionary relationships and the broader context of these ancient creatures within the animal kingdom.
