Compiled from decades of visiting beaches along the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts collecting fossils and conducting extensive research, A
Beachcomber's Guide to Fossils is the definitive guide for amateur
collectors and professionals interested in learning more about the
deep history they tread on during their vacations. Authored by Bob,
Pam, and Ashby Gale, this guide offers over twelve hundred
high-quality color photographs and detailed descriptions of more
than three hundred fossil specimens found on beaches from Texas,
east to Florida, and north to New Jersey. The book includes
descriptions and identifying information for the fossil remains of
mammals, reptiles, birds, and fish. Because the tides provide a new
beach to explore every day, and beachcombers need immediate
comparison for identification, the Beachcomber's Guide is essential
for quick and easy reference. And while the seemingly infinite
varieties of shark teeth form much of what beachcombers find on
their sandy strolls, this guide also illuminates the fossilized
remains of species that walked in a different world. From
glyptodonts (a giant, prehistoric armadillo) and giant sloths to
the intricately patterned remains of the ancestors of manta rays
and pufferfish, this book not only teaches its readers not only
what treasures to look for but how to look for them.
