The Jersey Devil Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Hi everybody, I have a question about this book. There are two versions of it. One of them has an ammonite on the cover and the other has a Meg tooth on it. What are the differences between the two books and which one is more recommended? Thanks! “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Per Abe Books, the ammonite covered book was published in 1982; the shark tooth covered book in 1992. Google Books lists both books as 515 pages and the 1992 edition as an illustrated reprint. https://books.google.com/books/about/A_Pictorial_Guide_to_Fossils.html?id=8pXuAAAAMAAJ&source=kp_book_description Further research might reveal their differences. 1 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

erose Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I do not believe any substantial changes were made to the second edition. It was paperback as compared to the original bound hard back. I still use this book on occasion. It was fairly well done and at the time (80's-90's) a great resource. It would make a fine addition to any paleo library. IMHO When I was still living in NY and hunting Big Brook regularly it wasn't uncommon to get back to the car and find that Gerry had been there stuffing fliers promoting the book under windshield wipers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I agree with erose. I have the Case hard-cover book, and endorse it for its broad coverage with images of many interesting fossils. 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 By the way guys; Jerry is still at it and working at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Sciences in Jackson. His Elizabethtown paper has just been published recently. Apologies if this information has been posted elsewhere.

Handling editor: Alison Murray. DOI 10.18435/vamp29345 Abstract: A euselachian assemblage from the middle Campanian Bladen Formation, located near Elizabethtown, Bladen County, North Carolina, USA, is described. The assemblage consists of 18 species from 17 genera, at least 14 families, and seven orders, and introduces the new taxon Cantioscyllium clementsi sp. nov. The recovered Squatina, Plicatoscyllium, and six lamniform species had large cosmopolitan distributions, whereas the new ginglymostomatid species and remaining hybodontid and batoid taxa were likely endemic to the waters of North America. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:3AE747B1-ABB1-45B5-8CE8-EDEDB3459C84 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 That link comes up "not secure" and it won't open for me. Probably they just have not updated their security certificate, and my University's firewall is blocking access. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I’m not getting anything from the link either. While it does come up as not secure so does tff for me. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 https://journals.library.ualberta.ca/vamp/index.php/VAMP/article/view/29345/21405 I googled the title and it took me to this. You can also google the title of course if this doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
