Here is a list of some of the top dinosaur field guides to choose from.
*Note: These are not shown in any selected order.
The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs. By Gregory S. Paul. (2010)
This 320 page field guide offers a in depth guide to more than 735 dinosaur species. Divided into 2 major parts, the first focuses on the study of dinosaurs in general; such as evolution, biology, habitat, etc. The second and significantly longer part of the book groups species of dinosaurs on a number of attributes. It comes with illustrations of dinosaurs, skeletal and muscular drawings and also maps of bone distribution. This field guide additionally incorporates latest scientific studies. A fantastic deal for the price and just how much information it packs, there are few complaints. Some prefer there to be more illustrations, though other individuals felt the illustrations in this field guide were fairly plentiful. It ought to be mentioned that this book is comparatively large in size (it’s measurements are 10.9 x 8.3 x 1.2 inches) so it’s not convenient for carrying around to a museum, school, and so forth. Still, it is still regarded as an very good reference field guide that will appeal to all dinosaur fans.
Field Guide to Dinosaurs. By Steve Brusatte. (2009)
This field guide is filled with greater than 170 computer generated dinosaur images that are big and detailed. It is thanks to this that this field guide is recommended for kids ages 9 to 12. The author, Steve Brusatte, a paleontology researcher and also works in the American Museum of Natural History, is mentioned to write in a method which is easy to understand and holds the reader’s fascination. The biggest draw is the large illustrations in this book that is very exciting to children along with adult dinosaur fans. The size of this field guide (14.2 x 11.3 x 0.7 inches) is both a positive and a negative; it is bulky so it is not the most convenient to carry around, still, the largeness does make it possible for some of the dinosaur illustrations to be actual size! All in all, this dinosaur field guide is recommended for children but will be well-liked by adults too.
A Field Guide to Dinosaurs: The Essential Handbook for Travelers in the Mesozoic. By Henry Gee. Illustrations by Luis V. Rey. (2003)
This 144 paged guide is thought to generally be a good field guide for beginners. Divided into pre-historic eras ranging from Triassic to Late Cretaceous, the drawings and illustrations in this book are well-done and interesting. This field guide helps make it clear that “this is a work of fiction”, which means that the pictures of dinosaurs are guesses on how they might have appeared according to their bone structure. It is suggested for children in grades 9 through 12, and is identified to be easily readable for this age group. Some people do feel that the information in this book isn’t the most thorough, and tends to be average. Even so, this field guide is an excellent addition to any dinosaur book collection, in addition to a decent beginner book for someone with a lighter interest in dinosaurs.
Jurassic Park Institue: Dinosaur Field Guide. By Dr. Thomas R. Holtz Jr., and Dr. Michael Brett-Surman. Illustrated by Robert Walters. (2001)
This smaller field guide (160 pages) is ideal for children that are dinosaur fans. It truly is an educational approach to give children the dino fix they crave. It’s suggested for children ages 4 to 8. One well-liked characteristic is the comparison of the dinosaurs to the human child size and it also includes lots of enjoyable facts about the dinosaurs favorite snacks and what movies you can find a particular dinosaur in. Adults can take pleasure in going through this dinosaur encyclopedia as well. Although, this guide was written in 2001, so it doesn’t have the most fully up to date dinosaur species. This field guide seems most intended for children but doesn’t offer the most recent information.
So as you can see dinosaur documentaries aren’t the only solution to learn about dinosaurs. Dinosaur field guides act an excellent supplement to dinosaur documentaries.
