Description
The Arctic used to be now not at all times cold and inhospitable. Millions of years ago dinosaurs roamed under tree ferns in a warmer world. This book is a survey of the dinosaurs found within the rocks of this now frigid landscape. The writer has spent decades exploring fossil bearing sediments of the Mesozoic and has written a full of life and readable account of this ancient world. However the book is more than dinosaurs. It’s also a geological overview of Alaska; a report at the fossils which have been found; descriptions of footprints of long dead animals; and a review of the fossil plants and the paleoclimate and paleoecology of the Arctic.
