Black Opal Fossils of Lightning Ridge - Treasures from the Rainbow Billabong
THIS BOOK IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. Where else in the world will you find technicoloured dinosaur bones, ancient shells or pine cones? This book is a fascinating look at prehistoric Australia as revealed by the beautiful remnants of opalised fossils, dug up in Cretaceous deposits of the Lightning Ridge area over the last one hundred years. Also one of the best works available for the genuine flavour of life in Lightning Ridge. Elizabeth Smith (text and illustration), and Robert Smith (photography), have created a beautifully-written, fascinating and comprehensively researched work on Lightning Ridge black opal fossils. A wonderful read for anyone interested in fossils, opal, or life on the opal fields. With a foreword by Tim Flannery (acclaimed mammologist, palaeontologist and author). Hardcover, 112 pages.
