This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1862 edition. Excerpt: ...an zahlreichen Stellen zu Tage tritt l) (zu Wöschnau an der Egg bei Aarau, woher das Buch'sche Exemplar stammt, zu Birmensdorf) u. s. w.) Die Scyphien-Kalke beginnen hier unmittelbar über den durch Amm. cordatus und Amm. perarmatus characterisirten Eisenerzen. Da letztere die weit mächtigeren Impressa-Thone der schwäbischen Alp ersetzen, so erklärt sich das Auftreten von Scyphien-Kalken unmittelbar über jenen Eisenerzen. Die zahlreichen identischen Arten, welche in der Literatur angeführt werden, weisen darauf hin, dass die Aequivalente der Birmensdorfer Schich ten an der schwäbischen Alp und im fränkischen Jura ähnlich entwickelt sind, wie im Kanton Aargau. Sie gehören in die Formationsabtheilung, welche Quenstedt Weissen Juray genannt hat. Nach ihren häufigeren und bezeichnenderen Arten lassen sie sich als Zone des Amm. Arolicus des Amm. canaliculatus oder des Amm. transverarius unterscheiden. Erst darüber folgt die Zone des Amm. Marantianus des Amm. trimarginatus und anderer Arten, welche zum Theil dem Quenstedt'schen Weissen Jura 0 anzugehören scheinen. Eine dritte Zone, die oberste unter den 3 hier betrachteten Abtheilungen, wäre nun eigenthümlicher Weise wiederum Quenstedt's Weissem Jura 7 zugehörig. Es ist ein durch zahlreiche Ammoniten characterisirter Horizont, welcher im schwäbischen und fränkischen Jura an vielen Stellen blossgelegt ist und eine Menge Versteinerungen geliefert hat. In dem hiesigen Museum befinden sich Hunderte von Ammoniten, welche in diesem oberen Horizont der Scyphien-Kalke zu Thalmässing in Mittelfranken gesammelt wurden. Es ist die Zone des Amm. temtilobatus, des Amm,...

He was born at Hohenheim in Württemberg, on December 19, 1831.
After studying mineralogy and geology at Stuttgart, he entered the university of Tubingen, where he graduated Ph. D. in 1853.
At the university of Tubingen he came under the influence of Quenstedt and devoted his special attention to the fossils of the Jurassic system. With this object he examined in detail during 1854 and the following year the succession of strata in England, France and Germany and determined the various palaeontological stages or zones characterized by special guide-fossils, in most cases ammonites.
The results of his researches were published in his great work Die Juraformation Englands, Frankreichs und des siidwestlichen Deutschlands (1856 - 1858).
In 1858 he became an assistant in the Palaeontological Museum at Munich. In 1860 he became professor of palaeontology in the university at Munich, and in 1861 director of the Palaeontological Collection.
There he continued his labours on the Jurassic fauna, describing new species of Crustacea, ammonites, &c. To him also we owethe establishment of the Tithonian stage, for strata (mainly equivalent to the English Portland and Purbeck Beds) that occur on the borders of Jurassic and Cretaceous.
Of his later works the most important was Paldontologische Mittheilungen aus dem Museum des Konigl.
He died at Munich on the 23rd of December 1865.
In 1861 Oppel became a professor at Munich and a director of the Palaeontological Collection. In studying the Swabian Jura he discovered that paleontologic and lithologic zones need not be identical or even mutually dependent. His use of ammonite fossils in dating Jurassic rocks (that is, those created between about 200 million and 146 million years ago) was adopted by other scientists. He was awarded the Chair of Paleontology at the University of Munich.
