It was a world of truly fantastic creatures, a genetic stew of the ancient and the modern. During this time the Earth took its first steps toward the creation of modern terrestrial ecosystems. This incredibly exciting period is brought vividly to life in the words of paleontologist Nicholas Fraser and the consummate artistry of Douglas Henderson. Together they have created a book in which the riches of Triassic life are presented with clarity, scientific accuracy, and imaginative recreation. Every lover of the life of the past will treasure Dawn of the Dinosaurs.0401http://www.unireps.com.au/itemimages/webimages/0253346525.jpgIndiana University Press01Indiana University Press0420061225UNIREPS02210295.00UNIREPS07AU040120061225 025334817X0302025334817X039780253348173159780253348173BBLife of the Past1A01Carpenter, Kenneth352RBX02Horns and Beaks completes Ken Carpenter's series on the major dinosaur types. As with his volumes on armored, carnivorous, and sauropodomorph dinosaurs, this book collects original and new information, reflecting the latest discoveries and research on these two groups of animals. The Ornithopods include Iguanodon, one of the first dinosaurs ever discovered and analyzed, and perhaps the most common and best-documented group, the hadrosaurs or "duckbilled dinosaurs." The Ceratopsians include Triceratops, known for its distinctive three-horned skull and protective collar.0401http://www.unireps.com.au/itemimages/webimages/025334817X.jpgIndiana University Press01Indiana University Press0420070101UNIREPS022102100.00UNIREPS07AU040120070101 025334733503020253347335039780253347336159780253347336BBLife of the Past1A01Prothero, Donald R.RBX02The Age of Mammals, the Cenozoic Era, has never had its Jurassic Park, but it was an amazing time in earth's history, populated by a wonderful assortment of bizarre animals. The rapid evolution of thousands of species of mammals brought forth gigantic hornless rhinos, sabertooth cats, mastodonts and mammoths, and many other creatures?including our own ancestors.0401http://www.unireps.com.au/itemimages/webimages/0253347335.jpgIndiana University Press01Indiana University Press0420060901UNIREPS02210276.00UNIREPS07AU040120060901 025333907303020253339073039780253339072159780253339072BB1B01Tanke, Darren597RBX02This pathbreaking volume provides further evidence that we are in the midst of a new golden age of dinosaur paleontology.

With the longest necks and tails of all of the dinosaurs, some sauropods were 40 meters in length and weighed upwards of 100,000 kilograms. The popular image of these lumbering giants, placidly consuming ferns, has been greatly revised in recent years by new discoveries and new theories about behavior and physiology. This book presents 21 new studies of the sauropods.0401http://www.unireps.com.au/itemimages/webimages/0253345421.jpgIndiana University Press01Indiana University Press0420051001UNIREPS02210295.00UNIREPS07AU040120051001 025334054303020253340543039780253340542159780253340542BB1A01Clack, Jennifer A.400WNA02Around 370 million years ago, a distant relative of the modern lungfish began a most extraordinary adventure: it emerged from the water and laid claim to the land.

The abundant and well-preserved remains of these prehistoric animals were the source of great excitement in the scientific community of the day when they were first discovered in the 1860s. Two of the best-known fossil hunters of the time, E. D. Cope and O. C. Marsh, competed vigorously to recover the best specimens. During the past 130 years, thousands have been collected and sent to museums around the world.0401http://www.unireps.com.au/itemimages/webimages/0253345472.jpgIndiana University Press01Indiana University Press0420050701UNIREPS02210276.00UNIREPS07AU040120050701 025321313403020253213134039780253213136159780253213136BC1A01Farlow, Jo768WNA02The single most authoritative account of dinosaur paleontology for the general public, all in one volume.

It was a huge species of crocodylian called Deinosuchus. Neither a crocodile nor an alligator, it was at the base of the ancestry of both modern groups; Deinosuchus reached weights of many tons and had features unique to its species.0401http://www.unireps.com.au/itemimages/webimages/025334087X.jpgIndiana University Press01Indiana University Press0420020601UNIREPS02210286.00UNIREPS07AU040120020601 025334514603020253345146039780253345141159780253345141BBLife of the Past1A01Dal Sasso, Cristiano2A32Brillante, Giuseppe3B06Rogers, Barbara Ferrett232RBX02In the last decade, Italian Mesozoic marine deposits have revealed the unexpected presence of dinosaurs.
