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."

"A Pictorial Atlas of Fossil Remains" by Gideon Algernon Mantell is a visual guide to fossils, primarily focusing on specimens from a time called the "Former World," especially those found in Britain. Using colored illustrations, the atlas presents a collection of fossilized animals and plants, including bones of the Moa bird, discovered and studied by Walter Mantell. The book starts with a transcriber’s note, frontispiece, and a preface that highlights the necessity for a detailed collection of fossil illustrations to encourage the study of geology and paleontology. It underlines the value of fossils in understanding life in ancient periods and also points to references for further research.
