3.0 out of 5 stars Operative Word Is "Introduction"

J. · April 17, 2013

This book is described as an "introduction" to British fossils and, for better or worse, that's what it is, just a very quick skim over the surface of its subject. It's an interesting read in parts but its brief treatment of specific British fossils is too little to be at all useful. If you have fossils you want to identify, this is not the book for you.

My Dad loved reading it
