Fossil

London: Dorling Kindersley, 1990. Reprint. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. Presented in the usual highly illustrated style of the publisher, this offers a complete introduction to the study of fossils. It begins by explaining just what fossils are and how they are formed, then continues by illustrating a huge variety of fossils, many never seen before in book form. Produced in association with the Natural History Museum in London, it features fossil myths and legends, living fossils, and future fossils, as well as building up a picture of the remarkable communities that lived in the sea, land, and air where towns, roads, and building stand today. From plesiosaurs to people, and from flowers to fishes, it explores the mysterious world of fossils in fascinating detail. Contains 64 pages, 29 x 22cm, and illustrated throughout with colour photos and graphic artwork. Black cloth boards in very good pictorial laminated dust jacket. Internally, shows damage to front endpaper (possibly where Prize Cerificate was removed?), otherwise in very good condition: clean, bright and unmarked in excellent condition.
