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.

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.
 National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Fossils June 9, 2008
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.
Good books January 14, 2008
Great price for a book that would cost more in any store. Very happy with my purchase
NAS Field Guide to Fossils January 12, 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.
Simply the best! September 28, 2007
If you're looking for a complete field guide on fossils, you can't beat Audubon's. More than pictures and identification -- there's a ton of history and science too.
