Summary, Etc. "Fighting saber-toothed cats, ammonite eggs, and an ichthyosaur that ate seabirds and turtles - Prehistoric Private Lives will follow the same overarching theme of prehistoric animal behavior featured in Locked in Time, but with emphasis on the randomness of the fossil record in preserving fossils with often unusual or extreme acts of behavior, challenging what we thought we knew about prehistoric life. The book opens with an introduction to the fragility of the fossil record and how every single fossil is the direct result of chance, of an ancient animal being in the 'wrong place at the right time.' A subsection of the introduction will expand on behavior in modern and prehistoric animals, looking beyond Locked in Time and setting the scene for a selection of 50 more incredible and unexpected fossils that will forever change your views of the ancient world. Following a similar format to Locked in Time, each of the 50 fossils in Prehistoric Private Lives will be introduced and described before being brought to life with beautiful and spectacular illustrations by Bob Nicholls. Complementing the text and illustrations, many of the fossils will be accompanied by photographs."-- Provided by publisher.
