John William Salter (1820 1869) was an English naturalist and
geologist, best known for his work as palaeontologist to the
Geological Survey of Great Britain. This is a complete catalogue of
the Cambrian and Silurian fossils in the Geological Museum at the
University of Cambridge. Preceded by a detailed introductory
section on the Pal ozoic system, the catalogue is arranged by
geological strata, covering the various groups of Cambrian and
Silurian fossils. The entries include detailed illustrations, along
with references to the location of each fossil in the collection,
its name and details of its place of origin. Revised by staff of
the University and published posthumously in 1873, the catalogue
also contains a substantial preface by Adam Sedgwick, famous for
his role in the development of modern geology, which provides
fascinating insights into the geological advances of the Victorian
era.
