Description: ESCONI is pleased to announce its soft cover publication of Jack Wittry's latest (2020) Mazon Creek book entitled, "A Comprehensive Guide to the Fossil Flora of Mazon Creek". Since the 2006 release of Jack's first book, The Mazon Creek Fossil Flora, much work has been done in the field and many new taxa have been discovered, some rare and unique to the area. Over 20,000 specimens were identified and studied from three different institutions for this project alone. In addition to updated names and natural affinities based on the most current scientific literature, this volume contains over 100 more pages of information, with detailed color photos and a broad census derived from The Field Museum's collection. Pages in this edition are also reorganized from the most archaic to the most derived plant groups to conform to other contemporary taxonomic works. The Mazon Creek flora of Illinois is still the most diverse known flora of Paleozoic age in North America. This magnificent book integrates all of the latest research and helps to further our understanding of plant evolution, perhaps paving the way for more incredible discoveries. You are buying a limited soft cover printing of this 285-page volume. The book is approximately 8.5 x 11 x 0.8 inches. Sales of this book support the Earth Science Club of Northern Illinois ( ESCONI ).
