“Enchanting. . . . The Lost World of Fossil Lake is a splendidly illustrated compendium on the c.52 million-year-old fossils found at the lakebed, written with grace and authority. Collections have been made from the site for about 150 years, and although the material has been described in many publications, there has been no comprehensive survey until now. And here it is, and with its 243 fine colour plates, it will appeal to both amateur and professional geologists and palaeontologists.”

“In this lush, in-depth guide to the area's fossilized fauna, palaeontologist Lance Grande offers an in-depth portrait of an aquatic community that thrived in a subtropical wonderland of jungles and volcanoes. Beautifully illustrated in colour, including a field guide and atlas.”

"The fossil lakes of the Green River Formation are fantastic paleontological goldmines, and Lance Grande’s new book is a detailed tribute to the wonderful forms of life that thrived among those ancient habitats. From damselflies to bats, The Lost World of Fossil Lake is a comprehensive fossil catalog that fleshes out scenes of Eocene life from the lake bottom to the shore."

Brian Switek, author of My Beloved Brontosaurus and Written in Stone.

"Lance Grande’s book is a tour de force celebrating the scientific value, historical background, biodiversity and sheer beauty of the exquisitely preserved fossils from the Fossil Butte localities in Wyoming. Elegantly written with lucid prose and full of enjoyable stories about the human culture of fossil collecting, it is an unforgettable, must-have biography of one of the world’s most significant fossil sites."
