About this product

Product Information

Some 111 million years ago, deep in the heart of Texas, a herd of twenty-ton disaurs sauntered across a wet mud flat. Their footprints eventually became frozen in stone, leaving a sign of one fleeting moment of a particular day in the lives of these magnificent creatures. Today, after mountains of time have passed, the story of disaurs in what is w Texas is being reconstructed, footprint by footprint, bone by bone. Lone Star Disaurs tells that story, along with the exciting tale of the discoveries that have opened a peephole into the past. Behind each fossil find, there is t just a disaur but a person-- sometimes a child--whose spark of curiosity lights the picture of prehistory. This is a thrilling story, engagingly written and beautifully illustrated, through which young and old alike can enter the world of the disaurs and the world of the disaur hunters. Disaurs are a Texas legacy from worlds long past. Pleurocoelus , Alamosaurus , Acrocanthosaurus , Chasmosaurus , Tyransaurus, and Tentosaurus are among the representatives Texas boasts of every basic group of disaurs--a remarkable diversity that samples nearly the entire range of disaurian development over an immense expanse of time. In fact, the three disaur-bearing areas within the state--the Panhandle, Central Texas, and Big Bend--yield treasures of vastly different ages, from the beginning of the Mesozoic Era more than 200 million years ago to the time of the big extinction some 66 million years ago. These disaurs lived in such different arrangements of the continents and oceans that they may as well have lived in different worlds. Their stories offer a compelling picture of the history of life on our planet.

  • Excellent book with pictures of the great people in the past

    Very excellent piece of work on the exploration of the dinosaurs of millions of years past and the people that explored their lives and the atmosphere in which they lived.

  • Texas fossils!

    Not only about the fossils but about the people who find them. Regular people like a child and his father in a creek. I found this book interesting and relevant to myself and family as fellow Texans
