Dive into this gorgeous book that highlights modes of locomotion of ocean creatures, from drifting plankton to swift hunters and world travellers riding ocean currents across the globe.

Learn about over 30 species of sea life, including mammals and fish, and discover the beauty of marine ecosystems that comprise our one, interconnected ocean. 

The book includes kid-friendly information on conservation of marine resources, fostering life-long stewardship among young readers, and also provides a short field guide for the wildlife featured in illustrations.

Surging, whirling . . . drifting, swirling.
The ocean wraps our world in wonder,
from rocky coast to deep down under.
                        Come, let’s go—

Praise for Cruisin' the Fossil Coastline

"This book is a knockout blend of science and humor, featuring superb artwork, people, and stories about the West Coast of the US and its fascinating prehistory. This book will make you laugh while exciting you with extraordinary science. It revives that sense of childhood wonder about dinosaurs and other bizarre creatures of bygone days."
—John Long, paleontology professor and author Dawn of the Deed

"Far from a dry scientific textbook, this is a charming celebration of fossils and those who study them."
Publishers Weekly

"Cruisin’ the Fossil Coastline packs written and visual stories from cover to cover—all infused with a genuine passion for science and the joy of discovery."
—Susan Ewing, author of Resurrecting the Shark
