Fossil Treasures of the Anza-Borrego Desert, published by Sunbelt Publications in partnership with the State Parks and the Anza-Borrego Foundation/Institute, also took a first place in the San Diego Interest category at the 13th annual ceremony of the San Diego Book Awards in May.
An Alternate Selection of the Discovery Channel Book Club, Fossil Treasures was written by 23 experts in paleontology, zoology, geology, climate, and environmental science. The ground-breaking work has been widely praised by paleontologists at such institutions as the American Museum of Natural History, the California Academy of Sciences, Yale University's Peabody Museum of Natural History, and the Museum of the Rockies.
The Anza-Borrego Desert region boasts the longest continuous fossil record in North America, with fossils of such unique animals as giant camels, bathtub-sized tortoises, and a sabertooth cat; the book has chapters dedicated to each family, as well as general topics such as geology and paleoclimates. With over 300 color illustrations, including five full-color paleolandscapes, and dozens of charts and maps, the book is written for the educated general reader.
The book was edited by George T. Jefferson, a California State Park district paleontologist, and Lowell Lindsay, publisher and board member of the Association of Earth Science Editors.
