Tertiary Mammal Horizons of North America is a book written by Henry Fairfield Osborn and published in 1907. The book is a comprehensive study of the mammalian fossils found in North America during the Tertiary period, which is the time period between 66 million and 2.6 million years ago. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the Tertiary period, including the geological and climatic changes that occurred during this time. The second part of the book is dedicated to the study of the mammalian fossils found in North America during the Tertiary period. Osborn provides detailed descriptions of the various mammalian species found during this time, including their physical characteristics and evolutionary history. He also discusses the relationships between these species and their modern-day descendants. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of paleontology and has been widely cited by subsequent researchers. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of mammalian evolution in North America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
