The sauropods form one of the three great dinosaur groups. The
sauropod dinosaurs roamed the planet for millions of years, with
creatures ranging from the smallest of the sauropods,
Magyarosaurus, to the huge Brachiosaurus. This one-of-a-kind
compendium covers all known sauropod species and features more than
2,000 diagrams and technical drawings alongside hundreds of
full-colour reconstructions of specimens. The book is divided into
sections that make it easy to navigate the amazing world of
sauropods. 'Comparing Species' is organized by taxonomic group and
gives comparisons of the size of species, how long ago they lived,
and when they were discovered. 'Mesozoic Calendar' shows the
positions of the continents at different geological time periods.
'Prehistoric Puzzle' compares bones, teeth, and feathers while
'Sauropod Life' answers questions such as what did they eat and
which was the most intelligent.
