Acceleration of Development in Fossil Cephalopoda is a scientific book written by James Perrin Smith in 1914. The book focuses on the study of fossil cephalopods, a group of marine animals that includes extinct species such as ammonites and belemnites. Smith's research explores the theory that these ancient creatures had a faster rate of development than their modern counterparts. He examines the growth patterns of cephalopod fossils and compares them to those of living cephalopods, using data from a variety of sources including museum collections and field observations. The book includes detailed illustrations and photographs of cephalopod fossils, as well as charts and graphs to help illustrate the author's findings. This book is an important contribution to the field of paleontology and remains a valuable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
