A Moment in Time with Sinosauropteryx

by Philip J. Currie

Troodon Productions Inc. | June 15, 1999 | Hardcover

 

In this insightful, dramatically illustrated new series, world-renowned palaeontologist Philip J. Currie, with co-authors Eva Koppelhus and Eric P. Felber, employs the fossil record to craft stories that encourage readers to explore a day in the life of a creature from Earth's ancient past.

 

Fossil evidence springs to life on the page as we follow the long-distance migration of Centrosaurs. Observe the pack hunter Albertosaurus as it searches for migrating dinosaurs. Follow the struggle of Sinosauropteryx to survive a volcano eruption. Follow Troodon's fight to nurture her young and teach them survival skills.

 

The conclusion of each book presents the fossil evidence from which each story has been developed.

 

The authors' imaginative but scientifically accurate approach to storytelling is perfectly complemented by 17-23 full-color illustrations from award-winning science illustrator Jan Sovak.

 

Philip J. Currie is Curator of Dinosaurs at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology. He is recognized as one of the world's foremost dinosaurian palaeontologists. Jan Sovak's work had been published in over 250 books in more than 15 languages. Eric P. Felber is President of Troodon Productions Inc. and a geologist in the oil and gas industry. Eva B. Koppelhus is a visiting scientist at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology. She has worked for more than 10 years at the Geological Surveys of Denmark and Greenland.

Loved the way the author drew the reader into the story through the eyes of the Sinosauropteryx, Layah. The story was well developed and action packed.
