Volume 3 in the Southern Fossil Discoveries series, Dinosaurs of the South offers new and exciting information about life during the Late Cretaceous in the southern coastal states. Like its companion volumes, Ice Age Giants of the South and Giant Predators of the Ancient Seas, this book is rich with dozens of color photos and original art.
Fossils of extinct animals are scarce in the southeastern United States, but paleontologists have uncovered enough evidence to know that a variety of dinosaurs lived in southern forests and coastal lowlands. Large meat-eaters hunted plant-eating hadrosaurs. Ostrich-like dinosaurs darted after small prey, and armor-covered nodosaurs rambled through underbrush 75 million years ago. And giant reptiles that were not dinosaurs also lived in the South, including the crocodile-like Deinosuchus.
Every fossil uncovered gives scientists new information about life in this region of North America during the time of the dinosaurs. And studying rare southern fossils has enabled paleontologists to identify entirely new dinosaur species known only in the South.
