What are fossils, and how do you find and keep them? William Matthews introduces the amateur collector to fossil plants, invertebrates, vertebrates, and microfossils, and to the rare conditions that preserve them. A practical handbook for the Texas rock hound. For anyone who has picked up a stone and wondered, the start of a lifelong hunt.

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.
