Fossils and Earth Time

Fossils and Earth Time by Felix Gradstein, Jan Zalasiewicz, Mark Williams, and Anna Waśkowska is an authoritative guide that brings the deep history of our planet into clear, practical focus. Ideal for geologists, paleontologists, students, and curious readers, this volume explains how fossils become the clockwork of Earth’s past—dating layers, correlating strata, and revealing long-term environmental change.

Discover accessible explanations of stratigraphy, the fossil record, and geologic time scales, illustrated with real-world case studies from Europe, the UK, North America, and beyond. The authors combine academic rigor with fieldwise insight, showing how fossil evidence underpins everything from academic research to applied geology and heritage conservation.
