A Beachcomber's Guide to Fossils (Wormsloe Foundation Nature Books)

Really nice book, have enjoyed reading it, very educational, excellent photos. Wish it came in a kindle version for travel, I’d get both versions.

From the moment I was old enough to walk the beach with my father picking up everything black until today, I have collected fossils, shark teeth, and all kinds of weird stuff from my walks on the beach. Finally, this book has given names to some of my collection. I have found this book to have a wealth of information, great pictures, and much more that I expected, I would highly recommend this book.

I could not be happier with this book! It is exactly what I have been hoping for in a fossil guide. Clear concise identification pages along with a ton of extra information about fossils and the natural history of the organisms they belonged too. So far I have not been able to stump the guide with my fossil collection or any new fossils I have found in the field. I am very impressed with how it is organized and it is certainly one of the best field guides I now own (that includes a vast library of bird field guides, reptiles, plants, etc).

Love love love this book. I’m on the beach regularly finding stuff and a friend reccomended this book to me and it’s much more fun being able to sit down and properly asses what you’ve found. A sharks tooth is a sharks tooth, but being able to find out what shark it came from is nice. This book is beyond informative and is packed with knowledge and facts. They have anything and everything you’d find in it. Would highly recommend

This book greatly exceeded expectations with beautiful photographs and lots of information about the fossils that are found on our beaches. I would give it a 10. The book is organized into color coded sections for shark teeth, bones, osteoderms, mouthparts, teeth, vertebrae and miscellaneous. I found it easy to find the turtle, shark, fish and reptile fossils I have collected in North Florida This is a great resource for any coastal fossil enthusiast. Ashby Gale has some YouTube offerings with tips for finding fossils on the beach.

You can immediately see the attention to detail given to this book. It is written to be useful to a wide variety of ages- making it a wonderful book for my middle school classroom and my personal collection! The pictures and artwork are pristine, helping you to easily answer the question of “what is this?” while walking on the beach. This book gives you so much information that you’ll be feeling like an expert in no time!

Great book for beachcombers!
