Book Reviews of Fossil Ecosystems of North America: A Guide to the Sites and Their Extraordinary Biotas

Book Review: A very nicely done Lagerstatten chronological rundown.
Summary: 5 Stars

This new release is a very good overview on the fine fossil record of each
age from oldest to youngest. Make no mistake, it has the pictorals of a coffee table book; but packed with information to enlighten the novice and the learned. Having visited most of the localities; I can make the statement that this book does a very good job of representing the locations, the fossils and the known information from studies. Excellent pictures and the quality of the graphics make it the next best thing to holding the very fossils of these famous locations. This book is well worth the price of this hardcopy. Bravo to John Nudds, Paul Seldon and all the contributors, efforts well done. - John A. Spina Jr. in NY
