Thomas H. Rich and Patricia Vickers-Rich : Dinosaurs of darkness

Allen and Unwin

$50.95


Oddly, despite the ancientness of Australia, there have been few dinosaur fossils unearthed there. In fact, it is only in the past 20 years that scientists have determined that dinosaurs lived in what, 100 million to 120 million years ago, was a polar region, joined to Antarctica. The husband and wife authors of this intriguing, lively book have been key players in the collection of fossils which tell us much about the way the world was then. They are intrigued by ambiguity and chance, and bring a wonderfully human flavour to what may otherwise be dry and dusty lab-speak.
