Did you know that Illinois's state fossil is the weird-looking
Tully Monster, which had eyes on a pair of stalks and an
elephant-like trunk that ended in a toothed claw? Or that Idaho's
state fossil is the stocky Hagerman horse, named for the town where
its bones were found? Fossils can be found in every state, and this
engaging guidebook brings these ancient organisms to life. Each
state entry contains details about the state fossil; an
illustration of what the vertebrate, invertebrate, or plant looked
like; a photograph or drawing of the fossil; and a state map
showing where it can be found. Potential fossil candidates are
proposed for states that do not yet have official state fossils,
along with instructions on how to get state fossils designated. An
appendix lists museums and parks where these fossils can be studied
first-hand, making the book a fun resource for fossil enthusiasts
and future paleontologists of all ages.
