Description

An illustrated record book of sauropod facts and figures - the hugest, the oldest, the most intelligent, and more The sauropod dinosaurs roamed the planet for millions of years, with creatures ranging from the smallest of the sauropods, Magyarosaurus, to the huge Argentinosaurus. This illustrated book of records is an essential compendium of sauropod facts and figures - from the biggest and the oldest to the smallest and the rarest. It covers every known species and features more than 2,000 diagrams and technical drawings along with hundreds of full-colour reconstructions of specimens. The book is divided into sections that put numerous amazing sauropod facts at your fingertips. 'Comparing Species' is organised by taxonomic group and gives comparisons of the size of species, how long ago they lived, and when they were discovered. 'Mesozoic Calendar' includes page spreads showing the positions of the continents at different geological time periods and reconstructions of creatures from each period. 'Prehistoric Puzzles' compares bones and teeth while 'Sauropod Life' presents user friendly graphics to answer questions, like what did they eat and which was the most intelligent. There are sections that chart sauropod distribution on the contemporary world map, provide illustrated listings of footprints, compile the physical specifications of all known sauropods, and more.
