/Fossil News /is a///*full-color quarterly print magazine*///– you can
hold it in your hands and turn the pages. Each number is a

international news from the world of vertebrate and invertebrate
paleontology, advice for amateur and paraprofessional fossil collectors,
paleoart & fossil photography, original book reviews, updates on
