Dinosaur DigsMore than 200 million years ago, giant reptiles began to roam the Earth. For millions of years many new and interesting species developed, from tiny Compsognathus to terrifying Tyrannosaurus - and then they all disappeared. Paleontologists working all over the world have revealed many of the dinosaurs' secrets, including what they looked like, what they ate, and how they lived. Book jacket. |
