What reading level is The School Manual of Geology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the Bats, however, the whole of the digits of the fore-paw are greatly elongated for the reception of the web or skin, while in the Pterodactyles the joints of the fifth digit only (answering to the little finger in our own hands) were thus elongated. The Pterodactyles found in the Oolitic rocks seem to have varied in size from that of a snipe to that of a cormo- rant, but those found in some of the Cretaceous series, near Cambridge, were very much larger. It thus ap- pears that even the fly...ing dragons of romance have had something like a real existence in former ages of the world.
No bones of Birds have yet been reported from any of the Oolitic series in England. The occurrence of the bones of an animal having such facile powers of locomotion, and of which even the dead body floats, must always be rare. There was lately discovered, however, in the lithographic shales of Solenhofen in Bavaria, which are so rich in organic remains, a fossil that was at first believed to have been a feathered reptile, from its possessing a long tail with twenty caudal vertebrae, surrounded with distinct impressions of plume-like feathers.
