Dinosaur Scientific Research Part 1

These are lecture videos, mainly. Dave Hone shows fantastically accurate videos in companion to his book. Here it is:



With also a Q&A session

Steve Brussate has an interview. So here it is. It is in companion to his new book.

Same with Victoria. She has a special project on Theropod tooth marks. The links are in my other post.

There are other books written by paleontologists and are up to date. In Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evoloved and The Tyrannosaur Chronicles, there is a further reading list you can check out.

I am so sorry but, I can't stop blogging. These books are more for adults so, be prepared. Here they are: Dinosaur Odyssey  by Scott D. Sampson and Phillip Currie According to Amazon: " This captivating book, laced with evocative anecdotes from the field, gives the first holistic, up-to-date overview of dinosaurs and their world for a wide audience of readers. Situating these fascinating animals in a broad ecological and evolutionary context, leading dinosaur expert Scott D. Sampson fills us in on the exhilarating discoveries of the past twenty-five years, the most active period in the history of dinosaur paleontology, during which more “new” species were named than in all prior history. With these discoveries―and the most recent controversies―in mind, Sampson reconstructs the odyssey of the dinosaurs from their humble origins on the supercontinent Pangaea, to their reign as the largest animals the planet has ever known, and finally to their abrupt demise.

Why can't I stop posting? Anyway, Here is a T-rex picture for you: Anyway, lets get into reading. The books are semi technical so, here they are: The Sauropod Dinosaurs by Mark Hallett and Mathew J.Wedel According to Amazon: " From   The Land Before Time  to   Jurassic Park,   images of fantastically large, long-necked, plant-eating dinosaurs have captured our imaginations. These are the sauropods: centerpieces of museums and gentle giants of the distant past. Imagine what it must have been like to crest a hill and see in the valley below not just one sauropod, but an entire herd, feeding its way across the landscape. The most massive land animals ever to have lived, sauropods roamed widely across the continents through most of the "Age of Dinosaurs" from about 220 to 65 million years ago. They reached incredible sizes, giving rise to the question: Why were they so big? Early guesses suggested that they gained protection from predators...
