Raptors, Fossils, Fins and Fangs : A Prehistoric Creature Feature

by Ray Troll

Long ago, even before there were dinosaurs, some water creatures made their way out of the ocean onto land. This is the story of those life-forms, and some of the weird and cool creatures that came before and after them--including humans. Troll and Matsen are the best. This book is for all the kids, grown and otherwise, who still love fossils.--Peter Ward, University of Washington.

About the author

From his tree lined studio, high on a hill above the Tongass Narrows in rain-swept Ketchikan Alaska, Ray Troll draws & paints fishy images that migrate into museums, books and magazines and onto t-shirts sold around the planet. Basing his quirky, aquatic images on the latest scientific discoveries, Ray brings a street-smart sensibility to the worlds of ichthyology & paleontology.

Riley and I thought this was pretty good tonight. Forva longer book it kept hm interested listening to the details. My only issue is I would like to have seen clearer pictures that were a bit less artistic as I think they would actually help inform a bit better.
