These pictures of fossils from the Triassic era, some 232 million years ago, were painted by Barbara Page and are from Rock of Ages, Sands of Time (University of Chicago Press, $45, £28.50). With text by Warren Allmon, the book is an illustrated history of the Earth, with each contiguous panel representing one million years, going from the Cambrian to the present.
