Dinosaurs of Eastern Iberia

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.

This volume 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. It also describes the flora and fauna that made up the ancient ecosystems and explores the paleobiogeography of this dynamic region.

A beautifully illustrated book that covers... spectacular sites, and very interesting specimens... I am unaware of any comparable treatment. I suspect that many will buy the book for the artwork alone!
