Fossil ID / Field Guide reference books - Southeast US?
SilverRead posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Could anyone refer a good fossil ID text book or field guide? Preferably US fossils but doesn't have to be that specific. I need something that is more advanced than a basic introductory/children's book. Been looking for awhile for a general fossil ID book with straightforward pictures + descriptions, but no luck so far. I'm a member of a local rock club. The fossil hunts are my favorite and I've gotten some interesting pieces (horn coral, blastoids, archimedes, crinoids, seed fern impressions, sigillaria etc) and received help ID'ing stuff from our more knowledgeable members but even some things they have not been able to positively identify or I've gotten home, cleaned things up and realized I might have something different. Plus I want to get more familiar with what other fossils may look like, pretty sure I have passed over fossils that I didn't realize were fossils...- 3 replies

Request for feedback on fossil field guide visual layout
pefty posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I'm working up a series of fossil field guides for various formations. I'd like to provide a visual indicator of which fossils are rare, which are common, and which are abundant, without getting in the way of the visual layout of the fossils & identifying information. The complete set of categories I am working with is {Abundant, Common, Rare, Very Rare, Common to Abundant, Rare to Abundant, Rare to Common, Present, and Questionable}. Has anyone seen a good way that a field guide of any kind has provided such a visual indicator as a page-wide element of visual layout? Attached is my first draft for the brachiopods of the Zaleski Flint Member of the Allegheny Formation (Pennsylvanian) of Ohio. All feedback welcome! Thanks.- 13 replies
