Treasures in the rocks - Paperback

by Abel Hernández-Muñoz (Author)

The world of prehistoric animals is fascinating and is the domain of a science called Paleontology, which is dedicated to the study of these animals extinct millions of years ago, from their remains that are embedded in rocks all over the world and are called fossils. Thus we have been able to learn about the megafauna that lived on the planet in the past, the plants and ecosystems in which they developed their life cycle through the discovery of their bones, teeth, scales, claws, footprints and insects trapped in amber. You will also learn about the rocks, the strata, the geochronological history of the Earth, how these animals evolved and about the historical development of this science.
