Summary:
"What if we woke up one morning and all of the
dinosaur
bones
in the world were gone? How would we know these iconic animals had a165-million year history on earth, and had adapted to all land-based environments from pole to pole? What clues would be left to discern not only
their
presence, but also to learn about
their
sex
lives
, raising of young, social
lives
, combat, and who ate who? What would it take for us to know how fast
dinosaurs
moved, whether they lived underground, climbed trees, or went for a swim? Welcome to the world of ichnology, the study of traces and
trace
fossils--such as tracks, trails, burrows, nests, toothmarks, and other vestiges of behavior--and how through these remarkable clues, we can explore and intuit the rich and complicated
lives
of
dinosaurs
. With a unique, detective-like approach, interpreting the forensic clues of these long-extinct animals that leave a much richer legacy than
bones
, Martin brings the wild world of the Mesozoic to life for the twenty-first century reader."--From publisher.
