Book Reviews of Gem Trails of Pennsylvania and New Jersey

Book Review: Gem rails of Pennsylvania and New Jersey
Summary: 5 Stars

Excellent description of fossil and mineral sites in PA and NJ. I found the maps to be clear, and the site descriptions to be very helpful. Also, here are several sites listed, with pretty good distribution over various parts of PA. Not a lot of information or illustrations about the samples one might hope to find, but generally a VERY good handbook for specific sites in this region. Well worth the price.
