Through photographs, CT slices, three-dimensional reconstructions, and interpretive commentary, this atlas invites readers to see fossils differently - not only as objects to admire, but as evidence to be examined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreated by Jean-Claude Le Van An, a radiologist and medical imaging specialist with a passion for paleontology, Beneath the Stone brings together two worlds that rarely meet: the clinical precision of radiology and the deep-time perspective of paleontology. Using CT as a non-destructive investigative tool, the book shows how imaging can document fossil structure, reveal restorations, detect composite specimens, and contribute to the understanding of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom fossil eggs to vertebrate specimens, from genuine structures to restored or altered pieces, each case is approached with the eye of a radiologist: analyzing density, morphology, continuity, and internal architecture. The result is both a visual journey and an educational investigation into what fossils can still reveal when examined beyond their surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis atlas is not intended as a definitive taxonomic catalogue, but as an invitation to look more closely. It opens a dialogue between paleontology and radiology, united in a common pursuit: revealing what time has buried.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor readers interested in paleontology, fossil collecting, medical imaging, fossil authentication, dinosaur eggs, and the hidden architecture of ancient life.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 252\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 8.5 x 11 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 24, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53750537191731,"sku":"9791098549700","price":104.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/UjM5rbkk5k9791098549700.webp?v=1785274182","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/beneath-the-stone-a-dialogue-between-paleontology-and-radiology-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
