Dinosaur Tracks from Brazil
Indiana University Press (Verlag)
978-0-253-05722-8 (ISBN)
Richly illustrated and containing a wealth of data, Leonardi and de Souza Carvalho brilliantly reconstruct the taxonomic groups of the dinosaurs from the area and show how they moved across the alluvial fans, meandering rivers, and shallow lakes of ancient Gondwana.
Dinosaur Tracks from Brazil is essential reading for paleontologists.
