In the Holy Cross Mountains on the Tracks of the Early Tetrapods is the story of one of the most important paleontological discoveries in recent years. The authors, one a biologist and the other a geologist, describe a key turning point in the history of life on Earth - the vertebrate transition from water to land. This engaging and accessible book, suitable for both amateur scientists and specialists, documents the authors' discovery (which was featured on the front cover of the prestigious journal, Nature) and explains its scientific significance.
From the authors' account we learn not only how fish became four-legged animals - tetrapods - but also how paleontologists uncovered this transition. The book contains fascinating reconstruction drawings showing the changes that occurred in the anatomies of the creatures which took possession of previously uninhabited areas of the Earth. Also of great interest is the detailed photographic record of the discovery itself, allowing us to follow step by step the work of the paleontologists and the methods they used to collect, preserve and analyse remains from the dim and distant past.
