       This new comprehensive guide book is a must for all fossil collectors who live in the area or might visit the south-central Ontario region. Over 300 different fossils belonging to at least 27 major groups are identified in the 286 page book (PDF) on CD-ROM and Coil Bound Book. These fossils represent the once living creatures that lived in the warm, shallow seas of Ordovician times (ca. 450 million years ago) of the region. The work also summarizes the rock formations the fossils are found in and covers over 100 fossil collecting localities. The guide is richly illustrated with over 300 text figures including the fossils themselves, maps and charts. In many cases several views of each fossil type are included to aid in fossil identification. The text provides useful descriptions to accompany the illustrations as well as information about the biology of the once living organisms. You will find everything from the shells of brachiopods to the ever so popular trilobite to straight cephalopods the size of a log.
       $85.00 gets you the Main Guide CD and the Supplement CD. It is entitled: “Quick Reference Fossil Identification Plates” and consists of 47 full page plates composed of 519 individual photographs of fossils. It is an excellent way to visually compare your unidentified fossil then look it up in the index of the main book to find detailed information on the fossil. For the first time this guide brings together information on the Ordovician fossils of Ontario in one easy to use book. The book covers at least 95% of the fossils in the region that are likely to be encountered by the collector as well as some rarer forms that are once in a lifetime discoveries. Collectors of Ordovician fossils outside of the region such as New York State and Ohio will also find the guide indispensable. For the educator at any level the guide would also make a useful lab or field guide for courses related to the study of paleontology in the region.
