A time-traveling field guide to the ancient version of Big Bend
National Park. The sheer beauty of Big Bend National Park, along
the shores of the Rio Grande in west Texas, never fails to
astonish. Yet what lies beneath this natural treasure may be even
more extraordinary than what meets the eye. Hidden in the rocks of
Big Bend are the remains of giants: toothy sea lizards, enormous
flying reptiles, and dinosaurs. Dinosaurs and Other Ancient Animals
of Big Bend is a field guide to what once was. Inspired by the
latest research, Cindi Sirois Collins and Asher Elbein imagine what
it was like to walk among the plants and animals whose fossil
remains tell the story of evolution and geological transformation
in this singular landscape. We glimpse the drama of Big Bend’s
rugged landscape in creation—the desert’s emergence from
retreating oceans and volcanic eruptions. Immersive vignettes
introduce dinosaurs, giant fish, and saber-toothed cats. And the
history of discovery in the park proves a gripping tale, as
paleontologists sifted major scientific insights from the soils,
rocks, and riverbeds. Complete with vivid illustrations, this is a
wholly original sensory and narrative experience that will deepen
any reader’s knowledge and sense of wonder.
