| One of the world's great dinosaur burial grounds is found in the badlands of the Red Deer River in southern Alberta. Dinosaur Country describes the geological events that created the lush coastal plains of the Late Cretaceous and details the fascinating array of the dinosaurs that populated them 75 million years ago. Meltwaters at the end of the Ice Age carved out the badlands to expose the fossils. Excavations, began in the early 1900s with the Great Canadian Dinosaur Rush. Scientists at the Royal Tyrrell Museum carry on where the early bone hunters left off. Dinosaur Country outlines current debates--about how these giant beasts lived, about the mass extinction that brought the Age of Dinosaurs to a close, and about the growing belief that the dinosaurs escaped extinction by evolving into birds. |
