Cornell University Press is to be congratulated on this excellently-printed volume, which will be an eye-opener to the teachers and cooolectors to whom it is primarily aimed. To those, both inside and outside the United States, whose special interest is tribolites, the very complete documentation of known species and the selection of rare specimens illustrated provide a new and valuable guide... This book provides for the general reader a first-rate view of the variety of tribolites known from a long-explored region, and basic information about them. For the collector there is much vital information, and for the specialist excellent photographs of previously unkown, type or exceptional examples of particular species.- H.B. Whittington (Geological Magazine) I can't express my amazement at Tribolites of New York. Volumes such as this coffee table book/textbook hybrid should be published for the invertebrate fossils of every states. The three authors do an excellent job of introducing the reader to tribolite anatomy and evolution, and then continue with a nice overview of the geology of new York. What follows is a beautiful collection of photographs and descriptions of the state's most important tribolite fossils. This book is a must for anyone interested in invertebrate paleontology.- Steve Brusatte (Fossil News: Journal of Avocational Paleontology)
