A Pictorial Atlas of Fossil Remains, consisting of coloured illustrations selected from Parkinson's "Organic remains of a former world," and Artis's "Antediluvian phytology."

Gideon Algernon Mantell

Gideon Mantell, discoverer of the Iguanodon, gathered the wonders of the fossil world into one illustrated atlas. Plate after plate reveals the vanished fauna of ancient seas and swamps, described by one of paleontology's founders. A window onto deep time from the man who helped invent the subject. Turn the pages and meet the life of prehistory.
