For all dinosaur enthusiasts, rockhounds, and tourists, this is the definitive guidebook to the paleontological treasure trove of fossil footprints in the western United States. Concentrating on the rich fossil life of the Colorado Plateau Region--including parts of Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico--Martin Lockley and Adrian P. Hunt tell the story behind a track record that extends back some 300 million years.
Dinosaur Tracks and Other Fossil Footprints of the Western United States takes readers on a fascinating journey through America's ancient past. The authors explain, in language the nonscientist will appreciate, the fossil track record from the Paleozoic Era through our modern Cenozoic Era. Specialists will appreciate the annotated references and detailed descriptions of important specimens. A series of lifelike illustrations by artist Paul Koroshetz depicts dinosaurs in their natural habitat, and an appendix lists museums and other major repositories of tracks and replicas, giving details on tracksites open to the public. Dinosaur Tracks is the perfect guidebook for explorations of the exciting prehistory of the American West.
