Over the last few decades our understanding of what Australia was
like during the Mesozoic Era has changed radically. A rush of new
fossil discoveries, together with cutting-edge analytical
techniques, has created a much more detailed picture of ancient
life and environments from the great southern continent. Giant
dinosaurs, bizarre sea monsters and some of the earliest ancestors
of Australia's unique modern animals and plants all occur in rocks
of Mesozoic age. Ancient geographical positioning of Australia
close to the southern polar circle and mounting geological evidence
for near freezing temperatures also make it one of the most unusual
and globally significant sources of fossils from the age of
dinosaurs. This book provides the first comprehensive overview of
current research on Australian Mesozoic faunas and floras, with a
balanced coverage of the many technical papers, conference
abstracts and unpublished material housed in current collections.
It is a primary reference for researchers in the fields of
palaeontology, geology and biology, senior undergraduate and
postgraduate students, secondary level teachers, as well as fossil
collectors and anyone interested in natural history. Dinosaurs in
Australia is fully illustrated in colour with original artworks and
12 reconstructions of key animals. It has a foreword by Tim
Flannery and is the ideal book for anybody seeking to know more
about Australia's amazing age of dinosaurs.
