(C) maps. - Global positioning system coordinates for each location. - A difficulty scale informing the reader of the effort required to reach, navigate, and collect at each site. - chapters covering the basic science of the minerals, fossils, and fluorescents to be collected. - The geological formations at each site and the scientific properties of the speimens found there. - 20 pages of full color photographs of specimens by the well-known mineral photographer Jeffrey Scovil including 5 pages of fluorescent minerals. - Over 400 pages of text, maps, and collecting site and specimen photographs.
