Synopsis
Discover how a simple pebble opens a window into Earth’s deep past.
This nonfiction volume uses a common chalk-flint pebble to show how our planet’s surface holds clues to ancient seas, long-vanished creatures, and the processes that shaped rocks. By following the author’s observations, readers learn how a smooth stone can carry remnants of shells, sponges, and tiny marine life, revealing a story written in stone and silica.
- See how a dropped pebble can reflect a history of transport, erosion, and ancient geology.
- Learn how flint and chalk preserve fossil remains, from sea urchins to microscopic life.
- Understand how fossils and mineral patterns form the “pages” of nature’s book.
- Explore notes and illustrations that connect rock layers to the life that once inhabited them.
