Synopsis

A vibrant and richly detailed guide to fossils for readers with a passion for the natural world and those that inhabited it long ago.

This is a book for those that want to learn to scan the beach for fossils, who love the simple pleasure of getting outside or those who want to develop their relationship with the world around them. From the Jurassic Coast to the Antrim Coast, our nation is home to some of the most incredible fossil sites in the world.

Weaving an intricate tapestry of knowledge on the landscape of our own pre-historic planet, palaeontologist and Education Officer of the Bristol Dinosaur Project, Rhys Charles beautifully communicates the joy of fossil-hunting and where best to hunt for them in the country. Under his guidance, and with The Natural History Museum, this book invites readers to unlock breath-taking fragments of a lost world.

About Rhys Charles

Goodreads review by Ingrid on March 19, 2014

Ahh, an sci-fi, adventure story written for younger readers. We have some suspension of time, some old world/new world clashing, and some jolly 1950's Britishisms. After enduring the dullest, rainiest summer holiday imaginable, Ben and Rachel are thrilled to discover a vault in their overgrown backy......more
