Summary: THE DINOSAUR TRACKERS' 'MUST HAVE'!
Comment: This is the most essential (to serious professional and amateur paleontologists) book on dinosaur tracks that has ever been published, and that is probably the reason it is still in print after eleven years. A few words of review will not do justice to this book, which has 71 contributing authors from all over the world! It includes: Dinosaur tracks and trackways so old that they were produced when only about 3% to 5% of reptiles were dinosaurs; A detailed scientific description (also photos and drawings) and naming of Brontopodus birdi (the tracks and trackways of huge Sauropods of Texas and elsewhere); Detailed photographic, graphic, and geological description of the Briar Site, a huge Sauropod trackway site in Arkansas; Description of Pterosaur (non-dinosaurian flying reptiles)foot structure (skeletal), as it relates to Pterosaur tracks and trackways; Details of magnificent Iguanadontian footprints in the Waelden of East Sussex; Dinosaur foorprints of Western Canada; Comparison of ratite footprints and trackways with tridactyl footprints and trackways reasonably attributed to Mesozoic dinosaurs; An important examination of dinosaur trackway beds of the Gulf Coastal Plain of the U.S.A.; Footprints of 'swimming Sauropods' in Morocco; "The Stance of Dinosaurs and The Cossack Dancer Syndrome"; Detailed analysis of elongate dinosaur tracks (plantigrade tracks), with demonstration that 'creationist' claims that some of these are 'man tracks' is completely wrong; and descriptions of dinosaur tracks found in countries across our planet. Really, what is mentioned here is a mere drop in the knowledge bucket of what this essential book has to offer to those of us who realize that dinosaur trackws are the most direct 'window' from which we can 'view' the paleo-environments, life styles, and dynamic abilities of the living dinosaurs that left an abundance of tracks across our world. Do not make the very serious mistake of not having this volume on your book shelf when, inevitably, it becomes no longer available. Serious about dinosaur track studies? If so, GET THIS BOOK! It is a reference that will be become a treasure over the years.
