Dinosaurs roamed Earth between 230 million and 65 million years ago. That's not only long before the present day, but also long before Homo sapiens were around at all. Without fossils, we might not know anything about these fierce and interesting prehistoric animals. Young explorers will learn how fossils form, the different kinds of dinosaur fossils that scientists study, and just what we've learned from these cool fossil finds. Detailed photographs aid readers' understanding while fact boxes add more context to key science concepts.

How can one account for the thrill of finding a fossil? Partly it comes from the straight forward excitement of unearthing buried treasure; partly from the romance of realizing that the object in your hand was alive millions of years before mankind appeared on earth; and partly, from the exultant realization that, no matter how common the fossil you have found, you are the first human being to see that particular one.
