With its distinctive nasal structure, long teeth, short arms, and powerful hindlimbs, Ceratosaurus was one of the remarkable predatory dinosaurs of the Late Jurassic. But how much do we really know about it?
Ceratosaurus Encyclopedia explores this fascinating theropod through fossils, anatomy, geological evidence, and scientific reconstruction.
Ceratosaurus Encyclopedia explores this fascinating theropod through fossils, anatomy, geological evidence, and scientific reconstruction.
Across 22 illustrated topics, readers will discover when and where Ceratosaurus lived, how large it grew, how its skull and teeth were built, why its arms were unusual, how its long tail helped balance its body, and what scientists know about the osteoderms associated with this dinosaur.
The book also explores the Morrison Formation and the other animals that inhabited its changing Late Jurassic environments.
Most importantly, this book distinguishes evidence from interpretation.
What was the nasal structure used for? How were its osteoderms arranged? What did its body covering look like? How did it hunt? Did it spend much time near water? Did it interact socially with other Ceratosaurus?
For many questions, the evidence is still incomplete.
Rather than presenting Ceratosaurus as a movie monster, this book reconstructs it as an animal whose story must be pieced together from fossils.
Because understanding what we do not yet know is an important part of science too.
