Dinosaurs of
Eastern Iberia
Edited by Àngel Galobart,
Maite Suñer, and Begoña Poza
Translated by Albert Prieto
Marquez
Written for the general reader, this
book is both a colorful introduction
to the history and study of dinosaurs
and an eye-opening survey of dinosaur
discoveries in Spain. At the time of the
dinosaurs, Iberia was in the process of
becoming a peninsula of continental
Europe and looked very different
than it does today. Now an area only
slightly larger than Vermont and New
Hampshire, Eastern Iberia contains
one of the richest fossil records of Mesozoic vertebrates in Europe. This
record spans an 80-million-year period that includes key moments in
Earth’s history, such as the extinction events at the Jurassic-Cretaceous
and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundaries. Dinosaurs of Eastern Iberia
tells the story of Iberia’s tumultuous geological history and presents a
detailed synthesis of the region’s dinosaur discoveries, with fact sheets
and reconstructions of each species found there. This volume also
describes the flora and fauna that made up the ancient ecosystems and
explores the paleobiogeography of this dynamic locale.
