DINO BOOKS

By the team who can take you inside the world of paleontology—and the lives of the people who discover, excavate, prepare, and assemble the world's best fossils and cast replicas. You'll find the comprehensive story of Sue and the Black Hills Institute's other T. rexes, along with the personal and legal story associated with that fossil. You'll also find the best book about how to learn about paleontology—and start "thinking like a scientist."

 

Not to mention: stay tuned for revisions of these books, as well as a brand new project about the seven most talented and prolific professional paleontologists on the planet.
