Welcome to Field Adventures in Paleontology!
Let me take you on a personal tour of some of the digs I've gone on in
recent years, both scientific excavations and personal collecting trips, and show you some of the fossils that are found there. Click on the green location on the map that you'd like to visit:
North America Through Time: A Paleontological History of Our Continent
Lynne M. Clos
North America Through Time is an exciting journey through the history of life and the part our favorite continent has played in it all. Not a dry textbook, it is written for the general reader with a strong interest in science but no professional background. Abundantly illustrated with stunning paleoart and photographs of fossils, all in full color, this is a journey through time like you've never seen it before. It will grasp your attention and entertain your imagination until the very last page, winding up with a discussion of what lessons from North America's past we can apply to our future.
These and many more adventures in a softcover book. If you've enjoyed my website, check out the companion book! $15. Don't see the location here that you'd like to visit, or want to see more? Try the Fossil Sites Page!

Thank you for coming! I hope you've enjoyed your tour. I also publish Fossil News, the Journal of Avocational Paleontology.

Many books have been written on the history of life, but none other that tells the story of North America's pivotal role in the saga. How did our continent come to be, and what part did it play in the unfolding drama of evolution? What ancient plants and animals inhabited our shores? What were the climate and geography like during ages past? Where can rocks from each time period be found? And where are there public preserves where you can view the fossils in place?
