Fossils have stirred the imagination globally for thousands of years, starting well before they were recognized as the
remains of once-living organisms and proxies of former worlds. This volume samples the history of art about fossils and
the visual conceptualization of their signi cance starting with biblical and mythological depictions, extending to rendi-
tions of ancient life as it ourished in long-vanished habitats, and on to a modern understanding that fossil art conveys
lessons for the betterment of the human condition. The 29 papers and accompanying artwork illustrate how art about
fossils has come to be a signi cant teaching tool, not only about evolution of past life, but also about conservation of
our planet for the bene t of future generations.
