From battling dinosaurs not for life, but for death, to sloth burrows the size of elephants - this book will show you the inhabitants of the distant past of the Earth. In five fascinating chapters, fifty of the most amazing fossils ever found are described, offering a completely new perspective on the behavior of prehistoric animals. Renowned Western paleontologist Dean R. Lomax presents unique firsthand evidence, showing animals in important moments of their daily lives, whether it be dinosaurs incubating eggs like birds, flies preserved during mating, or a tyrannosaurus rex suffering from parasites. Each fossil described by the author tells a unique story about prehistoric life. Often these stories remind us of modern animals, and then the evolutionary thread connecting all living creatures to their distant ancestors is particularly vivid. 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 bright and scientifically accurate illustrations by the famous paleoillustrator Bob Nichols bring these exciting events to life.
