Riassunto

The Formation of Geodes: With Remarks on the Silicification of Fossils, originally published in 1908, is a scientific treatise written by Ray Smith Bassler. The book explores the geological phenomenon of geode formation, which occurs when minerals crystallize within cavities in rocks or sedimentary deposits. Bassler examines the different types of geodes, their physical characteristics, and the conditions that lead to their formation. In addition to discussing geodes, Bassler also provides insights into the process of silicification, which is the transformation of organic material into silica. The book includes detailed descriptions of various fossils that have undergone silicification, and Bassler offers his observations on the mechanisms that drive this process. Overall, The Formation of Geodes is a comprehensive study of two important geological phenomena. It is written in a scholarly style and includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to aid in understanding the complex concepts discussed in the text. The book is a valuable resource for geologists, paleontologists, and anyone interested in the study of the Earth's history and formation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
