De Natura Fossilium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
De Natura Fossilium is a scientific text written by George Bauer also known as Georgius Agricola, first published in 1546. The book represents the first scientific attempt to categorize minerals, rocks and sediments since the publication of Pliny's Natural History. This text along with his other works including De Re Metallica compose the earliest comprehensive "scientific" approach to mineralogy, mining, and geological science.[1]
