Publisher's Synopsis

Fossils and Sedimentary Rocks introduces the main groups of fossils and how these may be used, in conjunction with sedimentary features observed in the geological record, to reconstruct and understand past environments. It also describes, with the aid of a full-colour poster and material on DVD-ROM, the physical, chemical and biological processes that weather and erode the land, and how transport and deposition of sediment lead to the formation of sedimentary rocks. The home kit contains replicas of representatives of all the main fossil groups, supplemented and enhanced by digital specimens on DVD-ROM.Unfortunately due to copyright restrictions some of the DVD material refered to in this book is not available for sale as a result study of some of the activities may be limited.
