    INTRODUCTION

    When we look at a dinosaur skeleton in a

    museum, at a dinosaur model in a display, orat a dinosaur picture in a book, we are at firstamazed by the strangeness of the creature.We wonder that such an incredible beastcould exst at all Then, when we begin to readabout dinosaurs, and to understand them andhow they lived, we begin to ask questions

    Where did the dinosaurs come from? Whatkind of world did they live in How long didthey exist

    These are all questions that scientists havebeen trying to answer for more than 60years Some answers to them come from the

    rocks in whih dinosaur bones are found Thekinds of rocks can tell us about the landscapesof the past-for instance, sandstones thatformed in huge ancient deserts, shale andmudstones from deep, wide, muddy rivers,

    and lmestones that formed i

    millions of years agoThe remains of living creatu

    in the rocks are called fossilstell us about the dinosaursPlant fossils show us the animal fossils show us the that lived at the same time

    The fossils from rocks datthe Age of Dinosaurs can givelife on Earth up to tat time Wthe evolution of the dinosdiferent kinds of animals tha

    We still do not ave all the

    By the time the parade arrives in the

    Cretaceous Period, it has reached the peak ofdinosaur developmet. Aong with the smalland big meat-eaters, the ogneked ad theto-footed pat-eaters, we aso find newkinds of armred dinosaurs including bizarrehorned types.

    Up to this point the same types of dinosaurshad lived al over the world Now we areseeing different types appearing on differentcontiets A type of twofooted panteaterwas widespread in North America, while the

    AT THE BEGINNING

    The irst part o the history o lie on ourplanet-the time known as the Precambrianra-is very unclear. All living things had sotbodies and le ew ossils or us to study.Then, in the Cambrian Period, animalsdeveloped shlls and horny coverings. Theseare the kinds o things we oten ind as ossils.We do not know why this change happened

    Maybe the chemicals in the seawater changedand allowed animals o grow hard partsAnyway, rom the Cambrian Period onward,the rocks are ull o ossils and we can tracethe evolution o lie with some conidence.

    In telling the dinosaur story, two eventswere very important: the development overtebrates, and the colonization o land. Theirst vertebratesanimals with backbones

    were the ish. These evolved rom wormlikecreatures that had a sti rod supporting a

    long body.
