Meet Stegosaurus and Stegoceras (the head hanger). An airborne giant, Quetzalcoatlus, with a wingspan the size of a WWII fighter. The meat eaters: T-Rex, Giganotosaurus, and Allosaurus, who strode eight feet with every step - try out-running that! There are fish like Ichthyosaurs, including Excalibosaurus, named after King Arthur's legendary sword because of its long snout. The swift and deadly raptors. Sauropods that could strip the tops of trees, and the agile little Compsognathus, the size of a turkey. Each dinosaur is illustrated in amazingly life-like detail, and accompanied by information on size, diet, and lifestyle. The deck also includes key paleontologists, fossil-finding methods, and a glossary.
