British Fossils

British Fossils by Peter Doyle

Tips on how to find fossils for yourself in the British Isles, from an expert in the field. The fossil-bearing rocks of the British Isles represent life from the last 2,900 million years and the UK is seen by many as the cradle of modern geology. Using the geological map of Britain, expert palaeontologist Peter Doyle offers a comprehensive guide to fossils in the UK, plotting the main fossil groups around the country, and relating them to the different ages of the rock in which they are found. With photographs of the fossils that can be discovered, and tips on how to find them yourself, British Fossils is the perfect companion for the novice fossil hunter or enthusiast.

He is the author of numerous scientific papers and books, including The Key to Earth History and Understanding Fossils (both Wiley). He edits two geological magazines, Geology Today, and, for children, Rockwatch.
