Does anyone have any recommendations as to what I can read to learn more about fossil identification (what to look for, what not to look for) and also about different rock identification and how they are formed? I am slightly new to all this and am wanting to improve my knowledge a bit. I just don't have any clue where to start. Questions I ask myself a lot are, "how can I tell if I'm holding a fossilized coral of some type and not just a rock that resembles one?"
Thanks!
