This "Who Was Who" of the prehistoric world is a fascinating reference book examining over 500 extinct species in detail, from the mighty dinosaurs and flying reptiles to armored fish, woolly mammoths, and our own prehistoric ancestors. World renowned artists collaborated closely with paleontologists using strict scientific principles to illustrate each animal in full color to create a comprehensive catalogue of prehistoric vertebrate animals. Among a vast array of species described and illustrated are such extraordinary creatures as: -- Spiny sharks and ray-tinned fishes -- Allosaurus and Tyrannosaurus -- Brachiosauras and Diploducus In addition to anatomical descriptions of each animal, there is also information regarding their habitats, behavior, and lifestyles. Furthermore, there are sections on the formation, discovery, exhumation, and reconstruction of fossils; the geologic time scale; and the nature and history of evolution. Assembled by a group of noted paleontologist, this is the most accurate presentation of the prehistoric world available.

"This text has been carefully planned to simplify a very complex subject and has been broken down into three main sections. The first surveys the invertebrates, including sponges and corals, slugs and insects. The next deals with vertebrates and takes in animals from the birds which fill our skies to the giraffe that grace the plains of Africa and the sharks that roam our oceans. Finally, we study the primates, from monkeys to the gorilla, and the group most closely related to humans in the animal kingdom."--BOOK JACKET.
