New Research Inspired by the Paleontology of Philip J. Currie
Hardback
Publication Date: 18/07/2001
This volume provides further evidence that we are in the midst of a new golden age of dinosaur paleontology. It presents further research on the vertebrate life of the Mesozoic as reported by 45 workers in the field. Organized into sections on theropods, sauropods, ornithischians, dinosaurian fauna, paleopathologies, and ichnology, these papers represent a broad cross-section of available research. Studies of Charles Sternberg and dinosaurs in fiction conclude the book. Among the interesting findings presented in "Mesozoic Vertebrate Life" are a new theropod from Patagonia, a new sauropod and a new ornithodpod from Utah, and studies of the phylogeny and taxonomy of the Tyrannosauridae. There are papers on the feathered dinosaurs from China and the origins of flight, with colour photographs; speculations on the socioecology of Ceratopsid dinosaurs; and studies of what can be inferred about dinosaur behaviour from examining bone pathologies and trackways. These 33 papers represent cutting-edge research on dinosaurs and other vertebrates from an important period in the life of the past. The book also contains a portfolio of dinosaur paintings and sculptures.
