Book Overview

The Devonian Fishes of Missouri is a scientific book written by Edwin Bayer Branson and published in 1914. The book focuses on the study of the fishes that lived in Missouri during the Devonian period, which occurred approximately 416 to 358 million years ago. The Devonian period is known for being a time of significant evolution and diversification of fish species, and Missouri is a particularly interesting location for studying these creatures due to the abundance of fossils found in the state. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of the Devonian fishes of Missouri. The first chapter provides an overview of the Devonian period and the geological history of Missouri, while the second chapter delves into the classification and anatomy of the fish species found in the region. The remaining chapters focus on individual species of fish, providing detailed descriptions of their physical characteristics, behavior, and habitat. Throughout the book, Branson uses a combination of scientific language and detailed illustrations to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Devonian fishes of Missouri. The text is intended for a scientific audience, but it may also be of interest to amateur paleontologists or anyone interested in the history of life on Earth. Overall, The Devonian Fishes of Missouri is an important contribution to the field of paleontology and a fascinating glimpse into the ancient world of fish.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
