Book Reviews of Ammonites
Book Review: Interesting but could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
The book has superb photographs, both black and white and color.The extended discussion of the attempts to establish what ammonite biology might have been like by comparing them with living and dead realative was fascinating.
On the negative side, I missed any discussion of the human context of ammonites. When were they first noticed? What was the process of ascertaining what they really were? As a non-specialist, I could have done with less information on the history and details of various species.
Overall, while worth reading, this book suffers in comparison with Richart Fortley's book Trilobite.
Summary of Ammonites
The beautiful spiral shells of these long-extinct marine invertebrates are among the most sought after and recognizable of fossils, yet little has been published about ammonites outside of geological journals. Neale Monks and Philip Palmer look at the latest ideas on ammonite biology and ecology to present this detailed picture of a once diverse and widespread group of animals.Fossils Books
