Product Description
This, the first all-photographic field guide to cover fossils found throughout North America north of Mexico, includes nearly 500 full-color photographs identifying corals, trilobites, shells, teeth, bones, as well as fossil-bearing rocks and outcrop formations. The descriptive text includes information on size, geological period, geographical distribution, and ecology of the animal or plant before it was fossilized. In addition, the book provides lists of Geological Survey offices and major fossil collections, a geological time chart, and a guide to collecting and preserving fossils.

An older book, never revised in 15 years it seems. Still appreciated by my sister, who it was gifted to. She's into archaeology. Appently still a good one.

Nobody does it like the National Audubon Society. Read the other reviews for more in-depth criticism. As an amateur rock hound, it serves my needs just fine.

• The Real Bible 30 October, 2008
This is a good book for the beginner who knows that the earth is 4 billion years old..The types of fossils discussed are perfect for the average collector..Not too big like dinosaur bones. This is not a book on how to prepare a fossil collected. Just a reference to the identification of a fossil.Note..There are a few typo errors like missing pages but it is still a good book for the starter..

• Nas Field Guide To Fossils 12 January, 2008
Another excellent book by the National Audubon Society. I was impressed with the photos of the various fossils, and was able to identify many that I have found around my cabin. This book will go to my grandson to enhance his growing collection of field guides.
