Dinosaur Facts and Figures The Sauropods and Other Sauropodomorphs
Dinosaur Facts and Figures The Sauropods and Other Sauropodomorphs
The book begins with an introductory section that explains how the size and
appearance of each dinosaur have been determined. It should be noted that
each record-holding dinosaur species shown in this book is the largest or smallest
specimen discovered for that species; size can vary considerably within a
given species.
The book is divided into eight main chapters: “Comparing Species,” “Mesozoic
Calendar,” “The World of Dinosaurs,” “Prehistoric Puzzle,” “Sauropod Life,”
“Testimony in Stone,” “Chronicle and Dinomania,” and “List of Sauropodomorphs,”
with each chapter including all pertinent records and information. The
identification of footprints presented in this book is part of an as-yet unpublished
study (Molina-Pérez et al. manuscript in preparation). The final section presents
a complete list of all sauropods discovered up to the time this book went to
press. The final pages of the book include a glossary, index, bibliography, and
an appendix with additional facts and figures.
