Dinosaurs factfinder

Dinosaurs and other prehistoric animal factfinder by Michael Benton.
The book is arranged in alphabetical order, which makes it easy to look up a creature. Most entries include pronunciations and meanings of the names. A small diagram shows its size compared to man; a time line indicates the geological period in which it lived. A map shows where dinosaurs lived on the landforms of their era. Brief introductory material explains how fossils are made, the age and history of the Earth, and classification systems of life forms. A directory of museums is included. This book can be used as a reference book, for browsing material, and as a fascinating exploration of the past, to be read cover to cover.
