LOCKED IN TIME - ANIMAL BEHAVIOR UNEARTHED IN 5...

Fossils allow us to picture the forms of life that inhabited the earth eons ago. But we long to
know more: how did these animals actually behave? We are fascinated by the daily lives of our
fellow creatures?how they reproduce and raise their young  how they hunt their prey or elude
their predators  and more. What would it be like to see prehistoric animals as they lived and
breathed? Dean R. Lomax examines the extraordinary direct evidence of fossils captured in the
midst of everyday action: dinosaurs sitting on their eggs like birds  Jurassic flies preserved
while mating  a T. rex infected by parasites. Each fossil  he reveals  tells a unique story
about prehistoric life. Many recall behaviors typical of animals familiar to us today  evoking
the chain of evolution that links all living things to their distant ancestors. Locked in Time
allows us to see that fossils are not just inanimate objects: they can record the life stories
of creatures as fully alive as any today. Striking and scientifically rigorous illustrations by
renowned paleoartist Bob Nicholls bring these breathtaking moments to life.
