Description - An Alphabet of Dinosaurs by Peter Dodson
"IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 60 MILLION YEARS since dinosaurs roamed the earth, but our fascination with theseprehistoric creatures has never disappeared. Scientists around the worldsearch for and study dinosaur fossils.These studies are constantly teachingus new facts about dinosaurs. We now know that dinosaurs lived on all of earths continents. Dinosaur fossils have been found from Alaska to Antarctica! The 26 dinosaurs in this book are just a tiny portion of the many different kinds of dinosaurs that lived during the 150 million years known as the Mesozoic Era. We have included dinosaurs from all three periods of the Mesozoic: the Triassic Period (from 245 million years agountil 205 million years ago), theJurassic Period (from 205 million years ago until 140 million years ago), and the Cretaceous Period (from 140 million years ago to 65 million years ago). Some of the dinosaurs that appear here will be very familiar. Some of these dinosaurs have been discovered only in the past few years. The paintings in this book show the dinosaurs as we now think of them. Gone is the image of slow-moving giants. Gone is the picture of tail-dragging lizards. Instead, we see vibrant, active dnosaurs living in a world filled with brightly colored animals and plants. It is our hope that the images and information in this book will give you a greater appreciation for the monsters of the Mesozoic."
