Publisher's Note
The history of animal life on earth is written in stone. From dinosaurs to trilobites, the remains of ancient animals captured in rock has allowed scientists to understand concepts such as evolution and extinction. Illustrated with stunning photographs, this title discusses the various types of fossils and how they contribute to our understanding of the story of life.

Industry Reviews
Gr 4-6-A brief but attractive overview. An introductory chapter defines terms such as sedimentary rock, relative time vs. absolute age, and the different kinds of fossils. Other chapters provide examples of remains from the Paleozoic to the Cenozoic eras and mention early ocean animals, some of the newer dinosaur discoveries, and ancient mammals. In covering the dinosaur finds, the author defines and describes the creature and notes where the fossils were discovered (but not always when), and why the discovery is important. The somewhat dry text is accompanied by above-average full-color photographs. An adequate, current bibliography with Internet resources is included.-Kathryn Kosiorek, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Brooklyn, OH
