[Samyy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not the most comprehensive or up-to-date, but nonetheless an excellent and interesting resource to have on the shelf.

The things fossils can teach us about our past!

Excellent as a workbook or a picture book for the curious. The printed matter is limited but highly informative.
