Dinosaurs of Darkness (Life of the Past)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Dinosaurs of Darkness opens a doorway to a fascinating former world which existed in Australia more than 100 million years ago--when it was a polar region joined to Antarctica and plunged into darkness much of the year. The way we have come to know about this lost world--so different from any that exists on Earth today--makes for a fascinating story. The authors, who played crucial roles in this discovery, describe their efforts to collect the fossils indispensable to our knowledge of this realm and the laboratory work that unlocked their secrets. Dinosaurs of Darkness is an intriguing personal account of the way scientific research is actually conducted and how hard it is to mine the knowledge of this remarkable life of the past.
