Fossil Treasures of the Anza-Borrego Desert Hardcover – Special Edition, January 1, 2006

I haven't yet gotten that far into it, but it is going to fit in with my research into the Colorado Desert's past history very well.

Paleontology buffs will love this volume, which combines terrific writing with scientific depth of research.

Bought as a gift for my boyfriend before he went camping in this area and he used it alot!

The book is thorough on the subject. It contains mainly technical information and can get you bogged down a little bit. It is a good source of information for fossil buffs. It met my expectations on information on the fossils of Anza-Borrego.

One of the best chronicals of this region.

Not much to say. I need to read more of it.

Was exactly what my son-in-law wanted for Christmas and was a great price!

The book is concise, direct and easy for the layman to read and understand. It has beautiful illustrations and answers most of the questions anyone who is interested in the recent (the past 7 million years) history of animal life in the U.S. could have. The book covers everything from invertebrates (small sea life with no backbone) to mammoths. It lets the reader know when and where many of these animals have been found and gives a good description. I'd rate the book five stars.Jerry Hughes
