DK Eyewitness Guides: Fossil by Paul Taylor
Fossils have been forming ever since life began 3 500 million years ago and they are still forming all around us today. Specially commissioned photographs show all the delicate details of many different fossils bringing life back to long-dead bones teeth shells and even flowers.It seems impossible that anything could survive for even 1 000 years but this book shows the remains of animals and plants that are hundreds of millions of years old. Fossil features 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 buildings stand today.Produced in association with the Natural History Museum London Fossil begins by explaining just what fossils are and how they form. It continues by revealing a huge variety of fossils many of which have never been seen in a book before. From plesiosaurs to people and from flowers to fishes it explores the mysterious world of fossils in fascinating detail.| SKU | Unavailable |
