Dig into the amazing world of dinosaurs! This one-of-a-kind atlas
from National Geographic is packed with eye-popping illustrations,
incredible fossil finds, and fascinating maps custom made for kids
by the world leaders in mapmaking and exploration. More than 250
million years ago, our planet looked and felt a lot different from
how it does now. The seven separate continents we have today hadn't
yet taken shape. Instead, there was only one "supercontinent"
called Pangaea. This was the beginning of the time of the
dinosaurs. Journey from the Triassic to the Jurassic to the
Cretaceous to find out how Earth slowly shifted over time, and how
the variety of dinosaurs ruling the planet changed too. Discover
how some of these creatures took to the land and others to water or
air, and what their habitats were like. Explore how these
prehistoric lands correspond to current locations, and hear from
paleontologists about the groundbreaking discoveries they are
making in these fossil-rich places today. Experience the Mesozoic
world of the dinosaurs as never before. This is one atlas to sink
your teeth into! You'll find: * Newly interpreted findings and new
art of fan favorites such as T. rex, Triceratops, and Spinosaurus *
New info and more recently discovered dinosaurs from less explored
parts of the world * Profiles of more than 75 prehistoric creatures
* Custom-made, kid-friendly maps of every dinosaur-inhabited
continent, from the Pangaea to the modern day, that explain which
creatures lived where, what the habitats were like, and where
dinosaur bones are being found today. * Eye-popping, full-color
illustrations of dinosaurs and the worlds they inhabited.* Profiles
of diverse paleontologists from around the world * Special sections
introducing the dinosaur family tree, a prehistoric era timeline,
the geography of the prehistoric globe, what happened to the
dinosaurs, and a dinosaur dictionary. Young paleontologists may
also enjoy these other National Geographic books: * You Can Be a
