Jack Horner was seven years old when he made his first dinosaur find. Later, he made his greatest discovery by uncovering more than 13 dinosaur nests filled with eggs and babies on "Egg Mountain." In The Maiasaura Nests, young readers will follow the exciting adventures of Horner as he climbs to the top of Egg Mountain in Montana to identify a new species of duck-billed dinosaurs. Full-color photographs, a map, an illustrated dinosaur timeline, and exciting narrative text will inspire budding fossil hunters.

Examines how Jack's discoveries would soon change how people thought about the way dinosaurs lived.

Maisaura's name means 'good mother lizard.' Find out why scientists believe these dinosaurs were such good moms.

Offers the very latest information on dinosaur eggs, hatchlings and babies, as well as a detailed look at dinosaur courtship, mating, nests, and physical development.

In the time of the dinosaurs lived the Maiasaura, a plant eating nursing dinosaur. These dinosaurs made nests on the land to lay there eggs in. But these nests did not always keep the baby dinosaurs from danger.

In the last two decades the study of dinosaur eggs and babies has proved a very profitable area of dinosaur research. This book is solely devoted to this topic and reviews our present state of knowledge in this area of paleontology.

Have you ever wondered what left behind those prints and tracks on the seashore, or what made those marks or dug those holes in the dunes? Life Traces of the Georgia Coast is an up-close look at these traces of life and the animals and plants that made them. It tells about how the tracemakers lived and how they interacted with their environments. This is a book about ichnology (the study of such traces) and a wonderful way to learn about the behavior of organisms, living and long extinct. Life Traces presents an overview of the traces left by modern animals and plants in this biologically rich region; shows how life traces relate to the environments, natural history, and behaviors of their tracemakers; and applies that knowledge toward a better understanding of the fossilized traces that ancient life left in the geologic record. Augmented by illustrations of traces made by both ancient and modern organisms, the book shows how ancient trace fossils directly relate to modern traces and tracemakers, among them, insects, grasses, crabs, shorebirds, alligators, and sea turtles. The result is an aesthetically appealing and scientifically grounded book that will serve as source both for scientists and for anyone interested in the natural history of the Georgia coast.
