What happened to the website of William Hessin's "Fossils of South Central Ontario"
JUAN EMMANUEL posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hi everyone, does anyone know what happened to William Hessin's publication "south central ontario fossils" or the website where one can purchase his publication either by book or cd? I wish to obtain a digital copy of his book and if anyone can provide me with a way to contact this guy that would be great. -
bought some books .... anyone have any reviews?
Newbie_1971 posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Won the bid on these books. Has anyone read, or own the same books? I didn't pay much for them, so no big loss if they aren't good. Just curious if anyone has read them and their thoughts.

Hello all! I am looking for books/literature that show descriptions and illustrations of belemnites (belemnoids). In the book there must be information about belemnites, colour or black-white photographs and reconstructions of the fossil/animal (how the animal looked like in real life and perhaps description of the rostrum). If anyone know some titles, that would be wonderful! Kind regards, Ruben

Book recommendations for state of Mississippi fossils?
pathojenn posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Good evening, everyone. Does anyone have any book recommendations for fossil identification in general, but particularly for Mississippi or the Gulf Coast of the United States? I have Roadside geology of Mississippi, and it's been a great resource for some elements, but I'm looking for something a bit more detailed. Thank you! Jenn -

Share and showcase you favorite non-fossil books & encyclopedia's
ziggycardon posted a topic in Members' News & Diversions
Hi everyone, I thought it would be fun to create a topic for us to share and showcase or favourite books and encyclopedia's. Because when I look at my fellow members here, I see a lot of very intelligent and learned people who besides Geology & Paleontology share many of the same interests as I do. Interests focussed on Science, Nature, Space, History, Art, Photography, Literature and Film. I believe many of the members here are well read and that's why I thought this might be fun idea for a topic. We already have one dedicated to our favorite books about paleontology, so let this topic be about every other book. So if you have any encyclopedia's, atlases, rare comic books, books about photography or travelling, first prints of old books, rare collectors editions or just you favorite novel or any other book that you love or are proud about let us then show them here. And perhaps tell us why you love these books so much. The paleontology book topic made me discover many cool books, so I am hoping this topic can do the same. I can't wait to see all the cool volumes to come! -
somebody asked about books on fossils, so I thought why not list my favorites and maybe get to discover something unknown on somebody else's book shelf. Here are two of my favorites. The Walking Whales: From Land to Water in Eight Million Years by J. G. M. Hans Thewissen (Author) , and The Story of Life in 25 Fossils: Tales of Intrepid Fossil Hunters and the Wonders of Evolution by Donald R. Prothero (Author). I enjoyed the writing style and learned a fair amount of how the science of paleobiology has developed and some of the amazing findings can be determined.

Does anyone have a recommendation for published keys to help identify tree species from petrified wood? I'm finding a lot of it and would like to not pester everyone here constantly, but would also really like to know more about the ancient environments I'm exploring. Any tips much appreciated! Happy New Year everyone. TFF definitely a highlight!

Good Books to Help with Identifying Ordovician-Age Fossils on the East Coast
Megalodoodle posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Does anyone have recommended beginner books to help identify Ordovician-age fossils on the East Coast? Or identifying common fossils of all ages on the East Coast? I'm a beginner when it comes to identifying fossils and in need of help. -
Are there any recommended books for ID'ing vertebrate fossils? Specifically, Miocene/Pliocene/Pleistocene fauna from the Southeast US or Florida? I am aware of Hurlburt's Fossil Vertebrates of Florida and it's on my acquisition list, but are there any others? Thanks! MikeG

So I've been collecting fossils for a few years now, i have a bunch of ammonites, sea urchins, mollusks and plants but I have no idea where can i learn what exact species they are. I'm wandering if there is any books or sites to which you can point me so I can gather some knowledge . I know there is an ID section in this site but I want to be able to tell what species I have found, myself. By the way I'm from Europe.

Hi, I've just struck up a new interest in fossils (thanks Thermopolis, WY!) and I want to share it with my nephews (6 of them!). I know the fossil sorting kits you buy don't have the most exciting of specimens (Ammonite, brachiopod, clam, coprolite, coral, crinoid stem, crinoid star, dinosaur bone, gastropod, orthoceras, petrified wood, sea urchin, shark teeth, stingray teeth, and fish vertebrae), but I thought it would be a fun start if I bought a pack of them to make some DIY dig kits. The recipe I found for it is 1 part plaster of paris, 1 part water, 2 parts sand, though I'm open to other suggestions if someone knows a better mix! http://longlivelearning.com/2012/11/homemade-geology-dig-kit/#comment-164564 A few questions: Will the plaster mix damage the fossils? What is the best way to clean off the excess plaster once the kids dig them out? I've heard vinegar, is that safe/will it work? Can you recommend some other inexpensive but interesting fossil types that I could buy to mix in? Anyone have fossil/dinosaur/prehistoric life book recommendations for ages 4 - 9?

I'm trying to find : A Manual of Practical Laboratory and Field Techniques in Palaeobiology By O.R. Green And the paper "The use of plastics in the "transfer method" of preparing fossils" (can't remember the author, and can't find it listed now.) Anyone have any leads? Thanks in advance!
