NEW TITLE “MINERALS, FOSSILS, AND FLUORESCENTS OF ARIZONA”, by Neil R. Bearce, 10” X 7”, 401 pages, illustrated with many black & white photos, as well as color plates and maps to collecting sites, soft cover. From the author of “Minerals of Arizona” comes a new field guide for avid field collectors. Not an updated second edition, this is an entirely new, expanded guide designed not only for the mineral collector, but for fossil and fluorescent collectors as well. No other Arizona field collecting book features sections devoted entirely to fossils and fluorescent minerals. The field research for this book took more than three years, during which time the author traveled approximately 25,000 miles around the state, and visited more than 300 potential collecting sites. Included in the book are ninety collecting sites with photographs and topographic maps, with G.P.S. coordinates for each collecting location. Can it get any easier? A difficulty scale shows the effort required to explore each site! The book covers the basic science of studying and collecting minerals, fossils, and fluorescents. Geological formations at each site are noted, and properties are given of minerals found there. Twenty full-color photographs of specimens from Arizona were prepared especially for this new book by noted photographer Jeffrey Scovil. Published by the Arizona Desert Ice Press, Tempe, AZ, 2006.
