A dazzling illustrated guide to the animals and plants of the Jurassic

Spanning more than fifty million years, the Jurassic witnessed a proliferation of new life. As the supercontinent Pangaea broke up, sea levels rose and water flooded newly opened regions, creating shallows and sheltered lagoons where all manner of species flourished. Oceans teemed with life, while a once-arid climate on land became humid and subtropical. This book offers an unparalleled look at the period's amazing animals and plants, from Stegosaurus and Diplodocus to conifers, ginkgos, ferns, and some truly weird seed plants. The Princeton Field Guide to the Jurassic is the ultimate illustrated guide to the awe-inspiring beasts and botanical wonders of the Jurassic.

Features more than two hundred illustrations, from full-color life studies and landscapes to detailed drawings of representative species Profiles the breathtaking diversity of Jurassic fauna and flora Discusses dinosaurs, marine reptiles, early birds, pterosaurs, mammals, amphibians, insects, and marine invertebrates Offers an in-depth look at the trees and vibrant plant life of the Jurassic forests A must-have reference book for anyone interested in the prehistoric world of dinosaurs
