Description

Birds of the Mesozoic is a comprehensive illustrated guide to the diverse bird life of the dinosaur age. Spanning over 160 million years, this book covers the evolution of avialans from their earliest forms to the emergence of modern birds in the Late Cretaceous. With over 250 stunning full-color illustrations, the guide provides detailed fact files on more than 200 kinds of Mesozoic birds, including their name, location, size, period, habitat, and general characteristics. The book also introduces readers to bird skeletal anatomy and the methods used by paleontologists to reconstruct fossil bird color, diet, and biology.
