And in paleohistology, we study the microscopic structure of fossil remains.

在古组织学中，我们研究化石遗迹的微观结构。

Fossil remains sometimes tend to fill up very wide intervals between existing orders.

化石遗骸有时往往会填补现有订单之间非常大的间隔。

If I am right, I thought, I must soon find some fossil remains of primitive life; and then we must yield to evidence.

我想，如果我是对的， 我很快就会发现一些原始生命的化石遗迹；然后我们必须屈服于证据。

In time, researchers would collect over 100 fossil remains of ribs, vertebrae, and even parts of the skull, representing 28 individual snakes of this species.

随着时间的推移，研究人员收集了 100 多块肋骨、椎骨甚至头骨部分的化石残骸，代表了该物种的 28 条个体蛇。

You'll find the fossil remains of thousands of life forms in one layer of dirt, and then none of those same plants and animals in the layer directly above.

你可能会在一层泥土中发现数以千计生物化石遗骸，然后在上面的土层中却没有任何同样的植物和动物。

We clearly see this in the fossil remains from consecutive formations invariably being much more closely related to each other than are the fossils from widely separated formations.

我们在来自连续地层的化石遗骸中清楚地看到这一点， 它们之间的关系总是比来自相距很远的地层的化石更密切。

We probably take a quite erroneous view, when we assume that sediment is being deposited over nearly the whole bed of the sea, at a rate sufficiently quick to embed and preserve fossil remains.

当我们假设沉积物几乎覆盖整个海床时， 我们可能会采取一个非常错误的观点， 其速度足以嵌入和保存化石遗迹。

Independently of our not finding fossil remains of such infinitely numerous connecting links, it may be objected that time cannot have sufficed for so great an amount of organic change, all changes having been effected slowly.

独立于我们没有发现如此无限多的连接环节的化石遗迹，人们可能会反对说时间不足以发生如此巨大的有机变化， 所有的变化都是缓慢发生的。

They burdened this earth a thousand ages before man appeared, but their fossil remains, found in the argillaceous limestone called by the English the lias, have enabled their colossal structure to be perfectly built up again and anatomically ascertained.

在人类出现之前一千多年前， 它们就给地球带来了负担，但在英国人称为“利亚斯” 的泥质石灰岩中发现的化石遗迹，使它们的巨大结构能够再次完美地建立起来， 并在解剖学上得到确定。
