Geologist Dickas describes fossil sites in the US that are accessible to the public and suitable to visit. For each he provides geographical coordinates, a quick summary of what the site offers, text with details and explanations placing the fossils in geological and evolutionary context, and photographs of landscape features and examples of fossils. His introduction provides a whirlwind history of life on Earth and of the academic study of prehistoric life. He does not include visitor information such as directions, contacts, hours, or nearby amenities. Annotation 2018 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
