Recommended Book:
Schrimer and Schrock's famous tome might set you back a month's pay, but this densely written classic is packed with details on biology, terminology, classification and stratigraphic index fossils that will richly repay your investment. Not only will you dress up your library, but you might consider leaving this encyclopedic book to your kids one day. It's been in print for more than 100 years, and for a very good reason! Look for a used edition. |
