Customer Reviews

Great book from a really nice guy!

Joe signed a copy of this book for me after buying one of my shark teeth on eBay. It's a GREAT reference! I use it almost every day to ID the teeth I buy and find. It's extremely easy to use! I recommend this for anyone that collects fossil shark teeth!

A must for any fossil collector

The book "Fossil Shark Teeth of the World" by Joe Cocke is a very concise and well organized guide. The photos are clear and the descriptions of the teeth will help anyone identify their find.

Excellent Guide to Fossil Shark Teeth

Finally a very comprehensive shark tooth identification book that covers over 85 species and covers them correctly. I found very few mistakes of any kind in this book when it comes to ID, nicknames, ages, localities, etc. which is almost never done! Each identified species shows accompanying photos (several of each species showing different positions usually) and is written in plain English so it can be easily understood by amateurs. Plus it's small size will enable it to be well-utilized in the field unlike most ID books.

An excellent guide

A well organized and easy to use guide for all fossil collectors, whether a novice or an expert in the field. I found the pictures to be very clear and helpful in identifying the different fossil shark teeth. Also, the descriptions and charts are very easy to understand. Anyone using this guide will enjoy the author's excitement for fossil collecting. This book is a must for anyone interested in marine life and fossils.

A CONSUMMATE GUIDE FOR COLLECTORS AND RESEARCHERS

As a researcher deeply involved in natural history, as well as a lover of fossils, I have found this book to be the most comprehensive work on the subject of fossil shark teeth. The author has done what so few guides and record books do-- he covers all the available data on his subjects. This includes both common and scientific names that are no longer considered accurate. But by doing so Joe Cocke provides us with the full spectrum on this topic. I only wish other authors would do the same.
