Excellent - By: kotovasii, 26 Feb 2008 
The book is wonderfully illustrated & covers all topics to start you on. It very much up to date & I found it very useful that each chapter has an excellent list of recommended further reading, bothin specialist literature & journal articles.
Geography/ Geology Undergrad - By: , 04 Jan 2004 
This book was recommended as coursetext book for my second year coursein Paleontology. I found the book fairly useful & covered all the topics that I needed. My only reservation is that it does not have enough pictures representing the fossils. Here i had to refer to the series published by the British Museum. Overall I couldn't have got through the course without it, a great help.
A excellent textbook for all paleontologists - By: , 22 Apr 1999 
This is exceptional book, written with genuine enthusiasm for the subject. The text is detailed & informative, illustrated throughout with excellent diagrams & drawings. However, the content is so detailed, newcomers to the subject may find themselves a little out of their depth.
