Collins Photo Guide to Fossils
Collins Photo Guide to Fossils

Pictorial window into Earth's prehistoric life.

If you're fascinated by the remnants of ancient life, this guide is a treasure trove of visual information. With carefully curated photographs, it's almost like holding history in your hands. Geology enthusiasts and amateur paleontologists will particularly appreciate the depth of detail that brings these fossils to life.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Description

This photoguide includes examples of all the major groups of fossils that can be found in the UK, with details of their distinguishing marks, how old they are and where they are most likely to be found. The book is illustrated with a collection of colour photographs taken from the Bavarian State Collection for Paleontology in Munich. It also covers the basic processes of fossilization and the biology of the major groups so that the function behind the structures that are seen in fossils can be better understood, as well as a short guide to how to collect and preserve fossil material.
