This valuable book provides information on fossils, fossil
collecting, and price ranges for most specimens illustrated. The
comprehensive text begins with the earliest fossil record of life
from strata representative of "deep time," called the Precambrian
by geologists. Foremost in this early record of life are
stromatolites, structures formed by very primitive photosynthetic
life forms. Attractive, color photographs illustrate this highly
informative section of the book. Also discussed and illustrated are
various problematic fossil-like objects found in very ancient rock
strata and the different ways in which they have been interpreted.
Paleontological puzzles, such as latest Precambrian vendozoans, are
covered as well. Other chapters feature fossils of the Cambrian
Period, when animal life became obvious. Fascinating color
photographs show trilobites (prehistoric creatures second only to
dinosaurs in popularity), plus other Cambrian fossils. Includes
helpful glossary of terms.
