Late Permian Terrestrial Vertebrates, U. S. A. and U. S. S. R. : Transactions, APS

Slowly, over more than a century & a quarter, the history of Permian terrestrial vertebrates has been pieced together by discovery & study of fossil-bearing strata in all of the continents except Australia & Antarctica. The decade of the 1950s has been exciting from the standpoint of new discoveries both in North America & abroad. New finds have gone far toward bridging the gaps between the lower & upper Permian & have presented new & quite revolutionary data on the distribution of Permian terrestrial faunas. Contents of this study: Introduction; Systematics; Geology; Interpretations; & Evolution. Illus.Olson, Everett C. is the author of 'Late Permian Terrestrial Vertebrates, U. S. A. and U. S. S.
