| 520 | _a"The Foot-prints of the Creator: or, The Asterolepis of Stromness" by Hugh Miller is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. This work primarily delves into paleontology, exploring the fossil record with a particular focus on the ichthyic species, notably the Asterolepis, while also addressing broader concepts of creation as they pertain to geology. Through his examination, Miller seeks to bridge the gap between scientific inquiry and theological interpretation of life’s origins. The opening of the book sets up Miller's exploration of the geological structures he encountered in the Orkney Islands, particularly around Stromness. He describes the unique geological formations of the region, detailing the significant presence of the Lower Old Red Sandstone and its rich fossil content. In this portion, he introduces the Asterolepis, highlighting the discovery of a vertebrate bone that he interprets as evidence of large, ancient fish such as the Asterolepis, which contradicts previous assumptions that earlier marine life was mostly diminutive in size. This initial exploration lays the groundwork for a detailed discussion on the relationship between geology, the fossil record, and the concept of creation, all central themes that Miller will unpack throughout the rest of the book.
