They would gather at nearby watering holes - eating, drinking, and trying not to become someone else’s lunch. But one day, in what we now know as Nebraska, everything changed. The explosion of a super volcano a thousand miles away sent a blanket of ash that buried these animals for millennia.  Until 1953, when a seventeen-year-old farm worker made an unbelievable discovery.  This is the first book to be published about the Ashfall Fossil Beds, where more than 200 perfectly preserved fossils have been found. Step into the past with author Alison Pearce Stevens, who has worked with many of the Ashfall researchers at the University of Nebraska State Museum.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49938612683025,"sku":"CIN1250266572VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49938621628689,"sku":"CIN1250266572G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51022008090897,"sku":"NIN9781250266576","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1250266572.jpg?v=1750953473"},{"product_id":"detective-dogs-book-alison-pearce-stevens-9780823455645","title":"Detective Dogs","description":"\u003cb\u003eA lively introduction to some of North America's most troublesome invasive species--and to the industrious dogs and handlers working to stop their spread!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Meet Fenton and Frost; Fagen and Dia; Hilo, Diesel, and Seuss. These intrepid environmental detectives are on the frontlines of the fight to stop the spread of invasive species--and all of them are dogs!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Pervasive and often difficult to locate, invasive species, and the economic and environmental harm they cause, have posed a continued challenge to scientists worldwide who dedicate their time to ecosystem conservation.
