Great book for fossil collectors
28. Dezember 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is a great book that is packed with photos and information about hundreds of different types of fossils. Each fossil that is listed includes a color photo of the fossil, and quite a bit of information about it such as origin, time period, related fossils, etc. I highly reccomend this book for anyone who is interested in fossils.

Beautifully Illustrated, Great reference
1. Januar 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
When I was writing articles on Fossils, this was my favorite book I would use from the Library. I must have checked it out 10 times. I fell in love with this book, I finally decided to purchase my own. The illustrations are phenomenal. The layout and design very pleasing, and the information is easy to understand and follow.
A coffee table-type book, it contains 248 pages of beautifully illustrated information, including sections on Fossils and Fossil Hunting, Directory of Fossils (which contains sub sections on Microfossils, Plants, Animals (Vertebrates and Invertebrates),and Glossary. It contains a detailed Table of Contents and Index.
I really enjoyed the detail they went into identifying over 375 plant and animal fossils, using over 950 photographs and illustrations.
This is a must have for the fossil lover - whether novice to expert. Makes a great reference book for kids, too, but it is such a nice book, you may want to keep it to yourself.
