Dinosaur Provincial Park

About this book

"This book, published in celebration of Dinosaur Provincial Park's fiftieth anniversary, is the first scientific overview of the Park, its flora and fauna, its major fossil discoveries, and its ecology. Philip J. Currie and Eva B. Koppelhus, along with a team of thirty-four other scientists, present a comprehensive synthesis of information. Chapters include studies of the Park's geology, paleoecology, bonebeds, and taphonomic modes. Other chapters summarize the palynomorphs, mollusks, fishes, lissamphibians, crocodylians, and pterosaurs, among other extinct denizens of the Park. And, of course, there are studies of the major dinosaur and mammal discoveries at the site." "A special color insert features life reconstructions of the Park and its former inhabitants by some of the world's finest paleo-artists. The book also includes a CD-ROM that contains additional images and data about the Park." "This comprehensive history of a remarkable window into the history of the earth will be required reading for everyone interested in the life of the past."--Jacket.
