Overview

Polar dinosaurs of Victoria introduces the reader to Victoria as it was millions of years ago, when dinosaurs the size of chickens roamed around the polar landscape and Antarctica could be reached by land. Since the first dinosaur bone was discovered in 1903 in coastal Victoria, up to 8 different species of dinosaur have been discovered in this part of Australia. Palaeontologist Thomas Rich describes the arduous but exciting process of a dinosaur dig and the amazing reconstruction that takes place to create a realistic portrait of these creatures from fossil bones. Polar dinosaurs describes the species and behaviour of these Victorian dinosaurs, and contains colour photographs and charts. In addition, there are beautiful colour illustrations of the dinosaurs from famous scientific artists. The book also contains a first-hand account of a dinosaur dig written by the author's daughter; sure to appeal to students dreaming of going on a real fossil hunt.
