Dinosaurs and Other Ancient Animals of Big Bend
2023
Overview
A time-traveling field guide to the ancient version of
Big Bend National Park. The sheer beauty of Big Bend
National Park, along the shores of the Rio Grande in west Texas,
never fails to astonish. Yet what lies beneath this natural
treasure may be even more extraordinary than what meets the eye.
Hidden in the rocks of Big Bend are the remains of giants: toothy
sea lizards, enormous flying reptiles, and dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs and Other Ancient Animals of Big Bend is a
field guide to what once was. Inspired by the latest research,
Cindi Sirois Collins and Asher Elbein imagine what it was like to
walk among the plants and animals whose fossil remains tell the
story of evolution and geological transformation in this singular
landscape. We glimpse the drama of Big Bend's rugged landscape in
creation-the desert's emergence from retreating oceans and volcanic
eruptions. Immersive vignettes introduce dinosaurs, giant fish, and
saber-toothed cats. And the history of discovery in the park proves
a gripping tale, as paleontologists sifted major scientific
insights from the soils, rocks, and riverbeds. Complete with vivid
illustrations, this is a wholly original sensory and narrative
experience that will deepen any reader's knowledge and sense of
wonder.
