Original 1926 Carnegie Institution paleontology monograph by Ermine Cowles Case on the environments of early land vertebrates outside North America. This extensively illustrated scientific study examines late Paleozoic geological formations, fossil-bearing regions, and the ancient landscapes associated with tetrapod life.
Environment of Tetrapod Life in the Late Paleozoic of Regions Other Than North America was published in Washington in December 1926 as Carnegie Institution Publication No. 375. Its 211-page text includes geological maps, stratigraphic sections, tables, and discussions of terrestrial vertebrates and their geological context in Europe and elsewhere. The study forms part of early twentieth-century work connecting paleontology, continental geology, and the evolution of land vertebrates.
Institutional green cloth binding, with gilt lettering on the spine. This is a withdrawn University of Virginia General Library copy, with the university's circular ownership stamp on the title page and a red WITHDRAWN stamp on the following leaf. There are black ink obliterations of older library markings on preliminaries, including an obscured mark near the author's printed name. A round label on the front endpaper identifies the binder as H. J. Prufer of Staunton, Virginia. The library seal includes "1819," the institution's founding year, not a date of acquisition.
Good used scholarly copy, but with substantial institutional markings: inked-over names and stamps, University of Virginia stamps, red withdrawal stamp, and some spine discoloration and shelf wear. The binding appears intact in the photographs, and numerous text illustrations are visible. This specific copy has not been collated page by page; completeness is unverified. All condition and ownership marks are shown in the photographs. Please review them carefully.
