Geology and Inhabitants of the Ancient World

** "Geology and Inhabitants of the Ancient World" by Richard Owen is a scientific work from the Victorian era that examines the geology and the extinct animals that existed in different periods of our planet's history. It emphasizes the techniques used to recreate these old creatures from fossilized remains. Owen shares information on geological formations such as the Chalk, Wealden, Oolite, and Lias, pointing out the distinct fossils discovered in each layer. The book also provides thorough explanations of well-known extinct animals like the Mosasaurus, Pterodactyle, and Iguanodon, along with details of their anatomy and habitats, showing the author's scientific studies and collaboration with an artist who visually restored extinct species based on fossils. **
