Description
New Look! Relaunched with new jackets and 8 pages of new text!
Here is an original and exciting new take a look at fossils – the remains of long-vanished animals and plants. Stunning real-life photographs of the spectacular remains of ancient lives offer a unique “eyewitness” view of what fossils are, how they were formed, and how they lived millions of years ago. See pearls which are 50 million years old, a dinosaur’s toe, a troublesome “snake” that was once turned to stone, a fossilized human being, and a snail made of precious stones. Find out how fossils are formed, how trilobites have been preserved for 590 million years, where to search for a belemnite, and how fossils helped the pharaohs of ancient Egypt. Discover which might be probably the most precious fossils on the earth, where ammonites lived, how big mammoths were, what a devil’s toenail looks as if, and much, a lot more.
