Peter Manchester's Guide to Tasmanian Fossils | Peter Manchester | 2024 [NEW – Large SC]

Peter Manchester's comprehensive guide to the fossils of Tasmania — how Tasmanian fossil evidence has helped piece together the geological history of the island's formation across hundreds of millions of years.

Peter Manchester is a Tasmanian geologist and author of Created from Chaos — his guide to 104 observable geological features across Tasmania — and this fossil guide is a natural companion to that work. Where Created from Chaos focuses on the geological landscape you can see today, the fossil guide documents what the deep past has left behind — the marine invertebrates, plant fossils, trace fossils and other evidence preserved in Tasmania's rocks.

At 386 indexed pages, heavily illustrated throughout in both colour and black and white, this is a substantial reference — aimed at geologists, palaeontologists, serious amateur fossil collectors, and anyone who wants to understand what Tasmania's rocks are telling us about deep time.
