From life-and-death dinosaurs to elephant-sized sloths digging holes, this book shows you the inhabitants of Earth's distant past. Five fascinating chapters describe fifty of the most amazing fossils ever found and offer a whole new perspective on the behavior of prehistoric animals. Renowned Western paleontologist Dean R. Lomax presents unique first-hand accounts showing animals at important moments in their daily lives, whether dinosaurs incubating eggs like birds, flies preserved while mating, or the parasite-ridden Tyrannosaurus rex. Each fossil the author describes tells a unique story about prehistoric life. Often these stories remind us of modern animals, and then the evolutionary thread that connects all living things to their distant ancestors becomes especially clear. See for yourself that fossils are not just inanimate objects: they record the history of organisms as full of life as modern ones. And the vivid and scientifically accurate illustrations by renowned paleo-illustrator Bob Nichols bring these fascinating events to life.
