Over the past four billion years, life on our planet has evolved from microscopic single-celled organisms to the incredible array of flora and fauna today. <\/p>\n<p>In the course of this time, layer upon layer of life was buried in sediment, turning into a fossilised record of the planet&#8217;s history. This highly-illustrated, large-format book looks at all the incredible things that scientists have learned from the fossil record: The ways in which continents have drifted, merged and fragmented again. The life forms that have evolved and the great extinction events that wiped them out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/OPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&#038;BRN=3423997\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Borrow <em>Stones and Bones<\/em> \u2192<\/a>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Fossil-Hunter.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Book cover of The Fossil Hunter&#8221; title_text=&#8221;The Fossil Hunter&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/OPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&#038;BRN=3475326&#8243; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;19px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; link_font_size=&#8221;19px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><em><strong>The Fossil Hunter<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Kate Winter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have you ever found something mysterious? Something you had no idea what it was but you had this feeling it was important, that it held a secret? <\/p>\n<p>Mary Anning was a fossil hunter, scouring the cliffs and seashores of Lyme Regis for strange rocks and shells. Monstrous marine reptiles and dinosaurs had once reigned the land and seas here millions of years ago, disappearing only to leave mysterious traces for humans to puzzle over. Mary&#8217;s fossils paved the way for modern palaeontology and helped to piece together a picture of how the dinosaurs lived and evolved. <\/p>\n<p>Little did she know that 200 years later we would still be talking about her amazing discoveries and how she influenced our understanding of the history of the Earth.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/OPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&#038;BRN=3475326\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Borrow <em>The Fossil Hunter<\/em> \u2192<\/a>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rocks Book Nancy Dickmann The ultimate introduction to rocks, minerals, and gemstones for kids &#8211; and grown-ups too!
