Overview

This book is both a colorful introduction to the history and study of dinosaurs and an eye-opening survey of dinosaur discoveries in Spain. This record spans an 80-million-year period that includes key moments in Earth’s history, such as the extinction events at the Jurassic-Cretaceous and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundaries. Dinosaurs of Eastern Iberia tells the story of Iberia’s tumultuous geological history and presents a detailed synthesis of the region’s dinosaur discoveries, with fact sheets and reconstructions of each species found there.

A beautifully illustrated book that covers... spectacular sites, and very interesting specimens... I am unaware of any comparable treatment. I suspect that many will buy the book for the artwork alone! James O. Farlow, co-editor, The Complete Dinosaur
