    EXCELLENT VERY INFORMATIVE

    This book was great. I read it to find out how to find fossils and this book helped me do just that. You cant read this book like a novel you have to use the different parts for what you need thats what makes the book so great it makes it so easy to find exactly what you need and the color plates are very good also.
