Even in the relatively brief time--a veritable geologic nanosecond- since Andy Secher began working on his first book, Travels with Trilobites, myriad previously unknown trilobite species have been uncovered in a variety of Paleozoic sites found across the face of the Earth (including in Morocco, Spain, Siberia, China, Greenland, and the western United States). There is still so much to learn about trilobites. Diverging from the deliberately detailed approach of Travels with Trilobites, this new book features a fast-paced series of concise "Top 10" lists that cover everything from "Essential Figures in Trilobite History" to "World-Class Fossil Shows;" "Biggest Trilobites" to "Rarest Trilobites;" "Ways to Value Your Trilobites" and "Key Preparation Tips." Accompanying the text are hundreds of never-before-seen color photographs illustrating many of the key trilobite specimens discussed within each list"--
