Compared to these points the coverage of the actual fossils pales a bit in comparison. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

In Ordovician time, the shallow sea that covered much of what is now the North American continent teemed with marine life. The Cincinnati area has yielded some of the world's most abundant and best-preserved fossils of invertebrate animals such as trilobites, bryozoans, brachiopods, molluscs, echinode Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
