1889340 p. With 53 photographic plates (many folding) and descriptive text. Folio. 31 x 23 cm. Original full cloth binding, worn. XLib. John Strong Newberry (1822-1892) was a man of high intellect, great energy, and vigorous influence. He came to Ohio with his father at age 2. In 1828, his father opened coal mines at Tallmadge near Akron, where fossil plants surely must have inspired his scientific bent. After receiving a medical degree in 1848, he soon set up a practice in Cleveland. But shortly, Newberry turned to join with geographical and geological explorations of the West. After the Civil War, he was appointed geology and paleontology professor at Columbia College in New York and was associated there until his death. He served as the Ohio State Geologist from 1869-1882, and made great strides in descriptive paleontology. Newberry's enduring undertakings in the of paleontology concluded with publication of this important U.S. Geological Survey monograph. Hardbound. First Edition. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! GEOLOGY 3
