Wow! What a bunch of bones! Dinosaurs roar into Oakdale! Dinosaur fossils, that is. These bones are headed to an exhibit at the Oakdale College museum. The unveiling of the exhibit promises to reveal the newest prehistoric discovery -- the Mundioraptor. And David Barnes is working on an interactive display that will bring the creatures to life! But someone has very different plans for the newly discovered creatures. A mystery phone caller threatens to smash the valuable bones. Guarded by four Dobermans and a high-tech security system, the fossils at first seem safe. Then, just as David, Samantha Kepler, Joe Talbot, and Wishbone "TM" get a sneak peek at David's work, the electricity goes out! Trapped inside the dark museum, they realize that someone will go to any extent to make sure these dinos stay extinct!

Extinction and Radiation
Author: J. David Archibald
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 0801898056
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
This study identifies the fall of dinosaurs as the factor that allowed mammals to evolve into the dominant tetrapod form. It refutes the single-cause impact theory for dinosaur extinction and demonstrates that multiple factors--massive volcanic eruptions, loss of shallow seas, and extraterrestrial impact--likely led to their demise. While their avian relatives ultimately survived and thrived, terrestrial dinosaurs did not. Taking their place as the dominant land and sea tetrapods were mammals, whose radiation was explosive following nonavian dinosaur extinction. The author argues that because of dinosaurs, Mesozoic mammals changed relatively slowly for 145 million years compared to the prodigious Cenozoic radiation that followed. Finally out from under the shadow of the giant reptiles, Cenozoic mammals evolved into the forms we recognize today in a mere ten million years after dinosaur extinction.

The Last Days of the Dinosaurs
Author: Riley Black
Publisher: The History Press
ISBN: 1803990724
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Some 66 million years ago, an asteroid some seven miles across slammed into the Earth, leaving a geologic wound over 50 miles in diameter. In the terrible mass extinction that followed, more than half of known species vanish seemingly overnight. But this worst single day in the history of life of Earth was as critical for us as it was for the dinosaurs, as it allowed for evolutionary opportunities that were closed for the previous 100 million years. In The Last Days of the Dinosaurs, Riley Black walks readers through what happened in the days, the years, the centuries and the million years after the impact. Life's losses were sharp and deeply felt, but the hope carried by the beings that survived sets the stage for the world as we know it now.
