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

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.

Introduces lesser known prehistoric creatures, including the giant sea scorpion called a eurypterid, the Helicoprion shark, and the carnivorous land dinosaur Deinonychus.
