    Description

    SCARCE OLD VINTAGE!!   ONLY ONE AVAILABLE!!  ONLY ONE I'VE EVER HAD!!
    This is the classic Geological Survey of Ohio Bulletin 25,
    Pottsville Fauna of Ohio
    . Originally published in 1922, this is the 1966 reprint, which used better paper and materials. This book contains 274 pages of text plus 16 additional plates of photos showing scores of good examples of the fossils from this prolific area.
    To give an idea of the importance of this area I've included a photo of the introduction of the book. The Pottsville formation has thirteen fossil bearing horizons. Fossils were collected at 93 localities and 200 species were identified, some of which were new to science. The photos are superb and the examples they had to work with represent a great deal of field collecting time and preparation effort. The result is this classic work, still relevant as the formations never change. This is the definitive work on the Pottsville formation.
    All in all this is a rare publication that would make a great addition to your personal collection. Should be of interest to fossil collectors, enthusiasts, students, or anyone interested in a fascinating part of their state.
    Expert packing assured. Weighs over a pound. Shipping weight is two pounds. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable.
