The Age of Dinosaurs is explored in detail, and covers many exciting discoveries of new species, as well a comprehensive guide to better-known species such as T rex. Many dinosaurs may have been able to swim or wade, just like mammals such as tigers and elephants nowadays. The first description of dinosaurs as a separate group of life forms (known as “Dinosauria”) was published in 1842 by British paleontologist Richard Owen, who based his findings on fossil fragments of the Cladeiodon and the Cetiosaurus. The dinosaurs ranged in size from chicken-sizes species to giants such as Argentinosaurus, which weighed up to 100 tonnes and was largest land animals ever to walk the earth. In any case, people could not have been expected to understand what dinosaurs were even if they found their remains.
For the layperson and the paleontologist, this award-winning series is the definitive reference work on dinosaurian genera.

Other fossil bones began turning up in Europe: fragments described and named as Thecodontosaurus and Palaeosaurus by two English students, Henry Riley and Samuel Stutchbury, and the first of many skeletons named Plateosaurus by the naturalist Hermann von Meyer in 1837. Having carefully studied most of these fossil specimens, Owen recognized that all of these bones represented a group of large reptiles that were unlike any living varieties. The book is generously illustrated with many detailed drawings and photographs, and includes color pictures and illustrations that feature interpretations of the best known and most important animals. But some people argue that Allosaurus and its kind would have been too slow and weak to overpower the giant plant-eaters, and were scavengers, feeding on dinosaurs already dead.
I think the only thing the book lacks is a pronunciation guide as some of the dinosaurs had some interesting names! series, will encourage early learners to go on a journey and explore a world of information, making this the ideal first reference book for kids to enjoy for hours.Even earlier (1800), large birdlike footprints had been noticed on sandstone slabs in Massachusetts.
Simple, easy to read text and lively, detailed illustrations introduce the basic concepts of dinosaurs and prehistoric life to young readers. In a report to the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1841, he described these animals, and the word Dinosauria was first published in the association’s proceedings in 1842. The idea of writing about evolution looking forwards rather than backwards was not a sudden inspiration but has been evolving in the author's mind ever since his college days. Both men collected fossils as an avocation and are credited with the earliest published announcements in England of what later would be recognized as dinosaurs.Earth’s history in one day… This illustrated book covers the most interesting and high-impact moments of our planet’s geological history, while charting the evolution of life on Earth, from ancient single-celled organisms to the species we know today, until modern humans appear – at just four seconds to midnight.

Starting with the beginning of life on Earth, this comprehensive book looks everything from early plants and the first amphibians to early reptiles and the first dinosaurs. The abundance of their fossilized bones is substantive proof that dinosaurs were the dominant form of terrestrial animal life during the Mesozoic Era (about 252.
It was described and named Hylaeosaurus by Mantell in 1832 and later proved to be one of the armoured dinosaurs.
