The Azoic System: And Its Proposed Subdivisions (1884)

By Josiah Dwight Whitney

Book Overview

The Azoic System: And Its Proposed Subdivisions is a book written by Josiah Dwight Whitney in 1884. The book focuses on the geological period known as the Azoic era, which is characterized by the absence of visible fossils due to the lack of life forms during that time. Whitney proposes subdivisions within the Azoic era based on the rock formations and structures found in various regions. The book includes detailed descriptions of these subdivisions and their geological significance, as well as illustrations and diagrams to aid in understanding. The Azoic System is a significant contribution to the study of geology and the history of the Earth, and remains an important reference for researchers and students in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
