Book excerpt: The first Australian dinosaur or, rather, the claw of a meat-eating dinosaur, was discovered in Victoria in 1903. Since then, six different species of dinosaurs have been found in this part of Australia and there is evidence that there are more. In this absorbing book, paleontologist Dr. Thomas Rich takes us into the world of polar dinosaurs and provides a first-hand look at the exciting, yet painstaking work of dinosaur hunting. Polar Dinosaurs describes the species and behavior of these dinosaurs and outlines their relationship to other Australian dinosaurs, including the famous ankylosaur, Minmi, from Queensland, and opalised hypsilophodontid bones from Lightning Ridge in New South Wales. Color photographs of fossils are included, as well as beautiful paintings by artist Peter Trusler that bring this ancient landscape and its inhabitants to life.
