Description
Earlier life forms are buried all over the earth's surface, in oceans, on mountain slopes, in our back gardens. Discovering Fossils provides an essential background on where to search for these fossils, how to scan for the right texture and shapes, and how to properly extract and protect one's finds. With practical advice on what to wear and which tools to carry, expert illustrations for identifying and comparing common fossil finds, and listings of fossil exhibits, clubs, and sites, this complete reference will help collectors of any age discover the thrill of paleontology.
