Wang & Levy's The 50 State Fossils covers each of the 50 US state fossils. Every entry has a picture of the fossil (or fossils), an illustration of the fossil(s), and information about each. Not every state has an official fossil yet, and these states are given suggestions based in what kinds of fossils are found in the region. All kinds of fossils are represented, not just dinosaurs. There are Cambrian oddities, and Ice Age giants, along with saurs. Plants and invertebrates are represented as well as vertebrates. My cubs and I enjoyed going through this book, seeing all the different types of fossils. This is a wonderful tool for illustrating us geography in a fun way, and is the perfect gift for budding paleontologists!
