"... a solid addition to any paleo library ..." Fossil News,

"A real bargain compared to the price of other paperback
paleontology texts currently available...The illustrations are
nicely drawn. Each chapter begins with a bulleted list of major
points to be covered and ends with a glossary. And each page is
self-contained..." The Paleontological Society
