Fossils1n 1667, Nicolaus Steno's newly-published book on myology, in which he indicated he believed that “glosopetrae” (tongue stones) were fossils of sharks' teeth, was introduced in an article in the Royal Society Philosophical Transactions, by Henry Oldenburg, Secretary. Although the context in the book was a dissection of a shark's head, Steno (a.k.a. Niels Stensen) was indicating the organic origin of fossils. As a Danish physician, Steno not only made notable contribution to the study ofanatomy, but also established some of the most important principles of modern geology. He published in Prodromus (1669) the law of superposition (if a series of sedimentary rocks has not been overturned, upper layers are younger and lower layers are older) and the law of original horizontality.«[Ref: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (10 Feb 1667/8) Vol 2., No. 32, 67-68.] |
