In a Wyoming basin, whole fish lie flat and perfect in stone. Paul McGrew tells the geological story of Fossil Butte: the Thaynes limestone, the Wasatch and Evanston formations, the basal conglomerate that dates the graveyard. Stratigraphy becomes storytelling. A guide to one of the richest fossil beds on the continent, and the ancient lake that made it.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
