The Complete Illustrated Guide to Minerals, Rocks & Fossils of the World: A comprehensive reference to over 700 minerals, rocks, plants and animal ... them, with over 2000 photographs and artworks

Rocks, minerals and fossils have a timeless fascination. This book's major feature is its two extensive visual directories - one on rocks and minerals and one on fossils - containing over 800 in-depth specimen profiles. Each profile features a superb color photograph for easy identification. Handy information boxes give facts and figures such as type and location, and detailed artworks and reconstructions show the structure-type of rocks, and how each fossil originally looked.
