About this book
British Fossil reptile sites are of international importance since they include remains that fill the time gaps poorly known elsewhere. They include rich classic reptile beds which have been the source of dozens of important specimens. This volume details all those sites that have yielded fossil reptiles. The fifty most important localities are described in detail and an extensive bibliography of everything published on British Fossil reptiles since 1676 is provided.
Reviews
The totality of coverage is breathtaking, and clearly this book will become the essential working tool of anyone wanting to make headway in reptile vertebrate palaeontology of the British Isles. - Geoscientist; This volume will be of enormous value to those trying to preserve our natural resources against the machinations of developers and local councils. - Geological Magazine.; Now there'll be no excuse for municipal rubbish dumpers or those modern Canutes, the coast protection engineers, to pretend ingnorance of the scientific value of quarries and rocky beaches. For fossil reptiles, at least, the evidence is now to hand in this information-packed volume...Anyone interested in prehistoric saurians will have a serendipitous wander through Fossil Reptiles of Great Britain, which goes beyond the wretchedly overexposed dinosaurs in its systematic revelation of the full wealth of our fossil record... - New Scientist; ...a volume full of information...well produced and laid out...an excellent guide to reptile-rich localities... - Dinosaur Collectors' Club Newsletter; ...systematic revelation of the full wealth of our fossil record - New Scientist
