| Summary | "Australasian Fossils: A Students' Manual of Palaeontology" by Frederick Chapman is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This manual aims to fill the gap in literature on fossils discovered in the Southern Hemisphere, specifically in Australasia, offering students an accessible overview of palaeontology. The book discusses a variety of topics, including fossil classification, geological epochs, and methods for finding and preserving fossils, catering to the needs of natural history and palaeontology students. The opening portion of the manual introduces its context and purpose, emphasizing the scarcity of resources concerning region-specific fossils in existing geological literature. It articulates the importance of studying fossils for understanding Earth's history, evolution, and the distribution of ancient life forms. Chapman underscores the manual’s intent to provide a foundational framework for students, alongside practical advice for fossil collectors, encouraging exploration and a deeper appreciation for the field of palaeontology.
