Between 1831-1836, Charles Darwin explored the world on H.M.S. Beagle. His observations were to form the core of his theory of evolution. This slide shows a piece of fossil wood that he collected from the Island of Chiloe, Chile in 1834. Darwin didn&#039;t enjoy his time on Chiloe calling it a &#039;miserable hole&#039;! Age: Tertiary Period, 40 million years old. From Collection B: Darwin collection. At least two slides represent material collected by Darwin in Chiloe, southern Chile, in the course of the Voyage of the Beagle in 1835. Other similar slides, unlabeled, may also be Darwin&#039;s material, but more study is required. This material is similar in construction to slides cut by the professional lapidiary, Topping (whose slides for a separate collection below). Hooker and Darwin were close friends so perhaps these are specimens that Darwin passed to Hooker for study. Slides from the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle, 1831-1836.}}<br /> |date=2019-12-08<br /> |source=British Geological Survey<br /> |author=British Geological Survey<br /> |permission=<br /> |other versions=<br /> }}<br /> <br /> =={{int:license-header}}==<br /> {{subst:Custom license marker added by UW}}<br /> {{BGS}}</div>
