Fossils: A Story of the Rocks and Their Record of Prehistoric Life
Harvey C. Markman and Mary Chilton Gray
A shell in a mountainside is a message from an ocean that dried up ages ago. Harvey Markman explains how fossils form, how they vary, and how they let us read prehistoric life across geological time. Clear chapters on floras, faunas, and formations, with a time chart to anchor it all. An inviting first door into the rock's long record. Start reading the stones.
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.
