Written for the general reader, this book is both a colorful
introduction to the history and study of dinosaurs and an
eye-opening survey of dinosaur discoveries in Spain. At the time of
the dinosaurs, Iberia was in the process of becoming a peninsula of
Continental Europe and looked very different than it does today.
Now an area only slightly larger than Vermont and New Hampshire,
Eastern Iberia contains one of the richest fossil records of
Mesozoic vertebrates in Europe. This record spans an
80-million-year period that includes key moments in Earth s
history, such as the extinction events at the Jurassic-Cretaceous
and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundaries. Dinosaurs of Eastern Iberia
tells the story of Iberia s tumultuous geological history and
presents a detailed synthesis of the region s dinosaur discoveries,
with fact sheets and reconstructions of each species found there.
This volume also describes the flora and fauna that made up the
ancient ecosystems and explores the paleobiogeography of this
dynamic region."
