Fossils : 300 of the Earth's Fossilized Species Paperback / softback

Edited by Carl Mehling

Part of the Mini Encyclopedia series

Paperback / softback

Description

Revealing the incredible diversity of fossilised plants and animals preserved for millions of years, this book profiles 300 examples of the most common and fascinating fossils, using an entry by entry approach.

By including examples from all of the major variety of fossilised life, from preserved trees and grasses to molluscs, trilobites, fish and dinosaurs, Fossils offers a truly comprehensive overview of fossils from every continent and gives a sense of the huge amount of natural history available to us in the fossil record.

Each fossil is illustrated with a clear and informative colour photograph, accompanied by informed and accessible text.

The fossilised plants and animals are grouped by order, then within each order by family (and, where necessary, within each family by subfamilies).

For easy reference, each entry includes a table of information on scientific name, order and family, habitat, distribution, geological period and dimensions.
