Author: Monique Keiran
Hardcover: 56 Pages
Using the resources of the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Alberta,the author focuses on one particular ornithomimid-an Ornithomimus edmontonensis-whose articulated fossilized remains were found in the rich beds of Canada's Dinosaur Provincial Park in 1995.Interspersed with episodes of a fictional biography of the ornithomimus in question,the body of the book covers a vast amount of information on the discovery,excavation,& preservation of this extraordinarily complete specimen,& its subsequent display in the museum galleries.He discusses the importance of fossilized plants & pollen in scientific research,continental drift,feathered dinosaurs,& the evolution of physical characteristics such as beaks & hollow bones. Color photos,small drawings,& an evolutionary "tree" are included,as well as a strong glossary & biographical sketches of several of the scientists & technicians involved with this important fossil.A location map & an index are sadly missing.The readable & engaging text contains a number of British spellings.Some readers may follow the fictional "Bird Mimic Chronicles" with their colorful,realistic oil paintings before settling down to the detailed examination of this exceptional find,while others may ignore them completely,looking only for present-day realities.A handsome,informative addition to a highly popular field.
