Agricola, considered the father of |
|||||||
| geology,
described fossils in great detail, |
||||||||
| beginning
a systematic catalogue of them. |
||||||||
| His
observations were published in “On the |
||||||||
| Nature
of Fossils” in 1564. He speculated |
||||||||
| little
on fossils being the possible remains |
||||||||
| of
ancient organisms a point that was much |
||||||||
| debated in his
time. |
