Describes the discovery and mounting of fossil evidence for the dinosaur called Barosaurus and examines what this evidence suggests about its appearance and behavior
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
For dinosaur-enthusiasts, 100+ color photos and drawings in an oversized look at an enormous plant-eating relative of Apatosaurus. Ninety feet long, with a neck that stretched 30 feet (page 8) or maybe 18 (page 26), this sauropod browsed the treetops of the western US some 150 million years ago. Lindsay discusses how fossils are formed, gives photos of early fossil hunters and excavations, and shows how a Barosaurus was reconstructed for N.Y.C.'s Museum of Natural History. Tyrannosaurus, a companion volume, repeats much of the same information while focusing on the giant meat-eater. Eye-appealing from cover to dinosaur-decorated endpapers. Fact section; list of sauropod displays in US museums; world map of diplodocid fossil finds; glossary; index. (Nonfiction. 5-9) -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
