Philip's minerals, rocks & fossils (Rev. and expanded ed)

A practical guide to indentifying minerals, rocks, and fossils.

Intended for amateur collectors and specialists alike, it is small enough to be carried in the pocket or rucksack.

It contains 145 colour plates which show typical mineral, rock and fossils specimens.

The encyclopaedia contains more than 13,000 A-Z entries, colour illustrations, 150 special box features and 200 individual country features..

The plates were photographed from the Natural History Museum's collection.
