A colleague of mine is working with a teacher and her students on a fossils project and they are looking for a good book that can help them classify the specimens they have found. Does anyone have recommendations? The ages of the group are 10 - 14.
As a recommendation for the teacher: Murray's (1985) 'Atlas of invertebrate macrofossils'. Can be of good help for the raw classification of fossils (but might not be accessible enough for the children of her class).

Thank you Michael. I appreciate the advice.
I actually found those two books that could be useful for the students:
Smithsonian Handbooks: Fossils - http://www.amazon.com/Smithsonian-Handbooks-Fossils-David-Ward/dp/0789489848/ref=pd_sim_b_1
DK Eyewitness Books: Fossil - http://www.amazon.com/DK-Eyewitness-Books-Paul-Taylor/dp/0756606829
Dear Maria,
Thank you so much for providing those useful resources - I truly appreciate it. I think they will be very useful for the teacher I am working with and her students!
Best wishes
