In the 1790s Georges Cuvier (1769–1832), one of the founding figures of vertebrate palaeontology, proved that extinction was a scientific fact. This four-volume illustrated work, originally published in 1812, is a collection of Cuvier's geological and osteological papers, focusing on fossil mammals and reptiles and related living species.
