Description

Dig into this photo-packed Penguin-Smithsonian book about fossils—and find out what was going on in our world.

Aren’t you interested in what Earth was once like long ago? What creatures lived before us? What happened to the dinosaurs?

Curious about Fossils explains why and where fossils form and looks on the colorful lives and essential discoveries of one of the most great early fossil hunters and collectors, including Mary Anning who unearthed the first ichthyosaur skeleton; Richard Owen who coined the word dinosaur; and Barnum Brown, who came upon the first remains of a T-rex. Then the adventure continues into brand new times, where scientists on fossil hunts in places like North Dakota’s Hell Creek Formation use computers and other technology to dig up the fossilized bones, teeth, or even poop that provide clues to the past. 

A will have to read for each and every kid who’s ever collected a shark tooth or trilobite!
