This stunning new book describes how fossils form in different habitats: how freshwater swamps have preserved early ferns and dragonflies, and how whole forests become frozen in time.
The main part of the book consists of an extensive directory of fossils, providing a comprehensive visual and factual compendium of more than 400 significant fossil types, ranging from the tiniest algae through mammoths and whales to giant dinosaurs such as Iguanodon - plus the varied types of humans.
This unique and impressive volume - with expert ext, major artworks, detailed timelines and hundreds of colour photographs - is a classic reference on the subject.
