About this product

Product Information

Fossils have been forming ever since life began 3 500 million years ago and they are still forming all around us today. Specially commissioned photographs show all the delicate details of many different fossils bringing life back to long-dead bones teeth shells and even flowers.It seems impossible that anything could survive for even 1 000 years but this book shows the remains of animals and plants that are hundreds of millions of years old. Fossil features myths and legends living fossils and future fossils as well as building up a picture of the remarkable communities that lived in the sea land and air where towns roads and buildings stand today.Produced in association with the Natural History Museum London Fossil begins by explaining just what fossils are and how they form. It continues by revealing a huge variety of fossils many of which have never been seen in a book before. From plesiosaurs to people and from flowers to fishes it explores the mysterious world of fossils in fascinating detail.

  • Too advanced for a 7 year old to read but excellent illustrations & the hardback is sturdy enough to last.

    Lovely book and a great bargain from the seller 'World of Books' - in perfect condition, like new but at quarter of the new price. Unfortunately the book is too advanced for the 7 year old's birthday I bought it for. I bought it as some other reviewers had said it was suitable for this age but the reading capability of a child who has just turned 7 is not advanced enough to read this. However it is hardback which makes it very sturdy so it will last and the illustrations are good.

  • A good place to start

    For younger readers (but not just for them): covers a lot of ground in an easy-to-read way, and (as you'd expect with Dorling Kindersley) the illustrations are out of this world.
