Firefly Guide to
Fossils, A Practical Guide to the Identification, Understanding, and
Hunting of Fossils
The Firefly Guide to
Fossils is a practical, pocket-sized and beautifully illustrated
field guide. Its introduction explains how fossils form and
this history of ancient life. Fossil classification and
distribution are described, providing essential background
information for students and collectors.
Fossil hunting is
described in detail with practical advice on everything from finding
sites to displaying specimens. The main part of the book
presents major groups of fossils, from trilobites to tree ferns in a
wide international range, from the common and easy-to-find, to
dinosaur bones that would crown any collection. The entries
are illustrated with color images accompanied by clear descriptive
text. A quick reference identification key organizes the 400
specimens by major fossil classification, making it easier to find
detailed information for each one. Softcover, 192 pages,
