Synopsis
An introduction to fossils: what they are, how they form, what different kinds there are, where they're found, and how scientists learn from them.
Cherie Ilg Haas - Children's Literature
Fossils are found all over the world, and this book describes what these interesting shapes are and how they are formed from animals, plants, and even bacteria from up to billions of years ago. Readers will also learn how scientists use this information to discover many facts about our planet and its life. Trees, footprints, and even entire animals can become fossilized if the conditions are right, and these fossils provide clues to Earth's history. Fossils contains many color photos, a glossary, a list of resources, an index, and a great Web site that all readers with Internet access should check out. This Web site is updated to provide active and usable links, since the Internet is so dynamic. The book is appropriate for beginning science classes, and is part of the "Reading Power, Earth Rocks!" series, which includes the subjects Gems, Igneous Rocks, Metamorphic Rocks, Minerals, and Sedimentary Rocks. 2003, The Rosen Publishing Group Inc.,
