Book Description:
In northeast Australia lies one of the most significant fossil deposits in the world Riversleigh. Here, the remains of many thousands of weird and wonderful prehistoric animals have been superbly preserved in the limestone outcrops. In this award winning work issued for the first time in the United States, the three principal scientists on this remarkable excavation explain the vast environmental and geographic changes that have occurred in this area since Australia broke away from the continent of Gondwana, and how the animals on board this raft evolved through the ages. Photographs and evocative artwork bring to life the teeming tropical world that once populated the now arid wastes of Riversleigh, and the authors discuss some of the unusual techniques used on a dig, how to recognize fossils, how to date them, and how to reconstruct extinct animals from them.
