The celebrated Solnhofen limestone is among the most important fossil deposits because of its astonishing diversity of organisms, many exquisitely preserved. Marine and terrestrial creatures and plants, buried 150 million years ago in soft lagoonal muds, provide a unique glimpse into the true diversity of Jurassic life.  

This book is an authoritative account of the geological history, palaeoecology, palaeoenvironment and fossil taxonomy of this classic location. It is well written and designed to be of interest to palaeontologists and evolutionary biologists, as well as of value to amateur collectors and anyone with an interest in the history of life.
