Riversleigh Animals in Ancient Rainforests of Inland Australia by Henk Godthelp, Michael Archer and Suzanne Hand opens the fossil-rich Riversleigh World Heritage site to armchair palaeontologists. This hefty 1998 hardcover pairs museum-quality photographs with clear, jargon-light geology to show how prehistoric creatures thrived in what is now Queensland outback.
The 264-page textbook surveys marsupial lions, giant flightless birds and other extinct oddities without drowning readers in technical detail. New Holland’s large-format pages let the reconstructions and field-site shots breathe, making the book equal parts scientific reference and visual safari for students and curious adults alike.
This second-hand copy is in very good shape: crisp, unmarked pages, no dog-ears, tight binding, and stored smoke-free. At just under 1.4 kg it’s a solid addition to any fossil-lover’s shelf, ready for study night or coffee-table browsing.
