Editorial Reviews
From Scientific American
A number of fossil identification guides grace the Science/Nature shelf at the local bookstore, but [this] book shines a little brighter than most. [It] tackles a tough topic with style. The author includes a wellchosen representative sample of fossils covering 44 commonly collected groups. Each group contains a number of orders or families that a field collector is likely to encounter. A treat for anyone who appreciates the beauty of fossils.

[This book] combines extensive taxonomic coverage with quality color illustrations to provide a valuable resource for paleontology students and amateur fossil collectors alike. The translators have done an admirable job preserving the liveliness and personal tone of Mayr's original text. The combined quality and taxonomic breadth of its illustrations far surpasses that available in any college level text on evolution and the fossil record. -- Joseph G. Carter, American Scientist
