Description
Dinosaurs went extinct 66 million years ago, but their fossils can still be found hidden beneath the earth - if you know how to look for them.
Learn how to be a dinosaur detective and join a team at every stage of the process, from planning an expedition and digging for clues to safely transporting any finds back for study. Meet the palaeontologists and geologists who cross continents to uncover underground fossils and the researchers and palaeoartists who work out the stories from the bones.
We're going on a dinosaur hunt... what will we find?
Written by an expert palaeontologist with experience of discovering new species, each stage in the process is verified and a perfect resource for fossil hunters aged 7 and up.
