Product Description

Review

"Here is a work destined to be of great historical importance in the field of paleontology...There have been no comparably detailed exegeses on the history of a single excavation." -- Earth Sciences History

Product Description

This is an illustrated study of the excavation of Seismosaurus hallorum, one of the longest and heaviest dinosaurs ever discovered. The author, the State Palaeontologist of Utah, USA, weaves his tale of discovery with anecdotes and descriptive chapters on the technical aspects of the excavation. Part adventure narrative, the story moves from the excavation site in 1985, to current advances in research, and back to the prehistoric age, as the author describes the anatomy, behavioural characteristics and habitat of this enormous dinosaur. It also explores the collaboration which existed between palaeontologists, archaeologists and the chemists and physicists who helped to reconstruct the dinosaur's life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, Educational and very readable., 10 Jan 2000

By	stuart@paleoxley.freeserve.co.uk (Bucks, England.) - See all my reviews

I am an amateur paleontologist studying to go to university to study paleobiology and evolution, so as you can imagine I have read one or two dinosaur books, esspecially as I hope to specialise in this subject eventually. It is refreshing to come across a book on a less well known species, as most dinosaur books tend to either specialise on one group or on alot of the well known groups. The book reads for the most part like an adventure story and pauses from time to time to fill you in with the science, with out blinding you with ultra complex terms, I might add. I recommend this book to anyone with even a passing interest on dinosaurs. Although you do need a very very basic understanding of science for the scientific parts, you don`t, however just to enjoy the book. For a good read go and raid the piggy bank. The paper back version costs next to nothing and amazon deliver when they promise to. And no I did not get paid to say that.
