Signed 1st Edition Mazon Creek Fossil Animals Photo Book by TVTesta

The sole purpose of this book is to share photographs of remarkable and interesting museum quality Mazon Creek fossil specimens from the private collection of T.V. Testa.  Some of the fossils presented within are rare such as the hexapod Testajapyx (named for the author) while others are common such as the crustacean Acanthotelson.    Robust species such as the horse-shoe crab Euproops are very photogenic while delicate bodied specimens such as jellyfish are sometimes not as graphic.  Rare or important fossils in anybody's collection are not always the most camera-friendly or interesting to look at.  Because this book is for the love of fossils it contains only photographs of specimens suitable for this book which is for enjoying nice pictures.  This book by far is not a full compilation of the collection.

While paleontology is a science and the photos in this book will appeal to amateur rock hounds and professional paleontologists alike, it needs to be disclosed that this is not a book of science.  This book is presented solely for the enjoyment of anyone who might be interested.
