To us, dinosaurs might be scary-looking. But humans never had to fear dinosaurs because they died out 65 million years ago, a long time before the first people were around!Dinosaurs lived in a period called the Mesozoic era, which began about 240 million years ago.

A ticking sound fills the air as Tim MacGregor enters The Daily Edition Café, hoping to meet his new girlfriend for coffee. Moments later, the café is transported 67 million years into the past, along with everyone inside.

Who Will Survive a Night of Mesozoic Mayhem? Deep in the mountains, there is a house that time has abandoned to rot. Its carcass remains as nothing more than a bad memory of a horrid nightmare. Inside its labyrinthine halls stalk primeval terrors the Earth has not seen in 66 million years. Their talons sharp, their teeth sharper. Their appetites hungry. This Hell is their Home. And their Guests have arrived... In the debut novel by Dave Bruno, a mismatched group of college graduates has stumbled upon this horrible place in hopes of a having a fun, celebratory weekend.

When every action and decision may determine the fate of everyone who has ever lived, the right choice is not always clear. For one man, there is no choice at all. Captain James Douglas sets off on a mundane transport and supply mission that quickly descends into disaster. Leading a fledgling society through a wild and hostile world was not part of his brief. Nor was the custodianship of all human life, history, and endeavor. Worse still, an enemy hides among his passengers, while the knowledge of a boy, just days out of school, may be all that stands between mankind and extinction.

Triceratops means “three-horned face.” This massive dinosaur had a parrot-like hard beak and a bony frill around its head. Triceratops had a horn above each eye and another horn on its nose. These horns were used to protect it from other meat-eating dinosaurs.

Terrible lizards. That’s what the word dinosaurs means. Yet dinosaurs are not true lizards, and they are not necessarily terrible, either. Paleontologists have overturned many misconceptions, and in Dinosaurs!, we look at what the latest research tells us and what we still have to learn about these endlessly fascinating creatures. 

There’s a doorway on Mars that has mankind’s greatest minds perplexed. Deep beneath Aeolis Mons an ancient secret is revealed, and a team of explorers led by Forest Judge, Deputy Commander of Gale Base Alpha, are dispatched to investigate. The prehistoric gateway reveals a biosphere preserving Earth’s distant past, and as Judge and crew stand on the threshold of mankind’s greatest discovery the Martian ground trembles. A roar thunders from within, the doorway closes, and the team is trapped.

Did you know that Pteranodon was not a dinosaur? Pteranodon belongs to a special group of flying reptiles called pterosaurs.

In this Very Short Introduction audiobook, David Norman discusses how dinosaurs were first discovered and interpreted and how our understanding of them has changed over the past 200 years. He looks at some of the amazing discoveries that have enabled us to gain new and unexpected insights into dinosaurs as animals with natural histories and behaviors and considers some of the biggest questions in dinosaur biology, such as the implications of them having warm blood.  

Wouldn’t it be fun to go on a dinosaur dig and find fossil remains of the famous Tyrannosaurus rex?

Tyrannosaurus was the fiercest meat-eating dinosaur. It was “king of the tyrant lizards,” with 50 sharp, jagged teeth!

Stegosaurus means “roofed lizard.” This plant-eating dinosaur was about the size of a school bus and had two rows of bony plates along its back.

Plesiosaurus swam in prehistoric oceans. Its name means “near-reptile” because paleontologists thought that it resembled a reptile.

Scientists are not quite sure what colors the dinosaurs were. They can only guess that the dinosaurs may have been colored to match their surroundings, just as most animals are today.

Garrett Andrews is two things: A god, and a person who knows how to get things done. And this time, he’ll have to put both things to the test because the new world he’ll visit is filled with dinosaurs with sharp teeth, vicious claws, and a taste for human flesh. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg because he also has to seed life on his home planet, combat a race of lizard people with incredible technology, and build a city with his bare hands. On the plus side, crafting a dungeon in the heart of a dying star is pretty damn fun.

Paradise is a sprawling, diverse, often cruel world. There are humans on Paradise, but dinosaurs predominate: wildlife, monsters, beasts of burden and of war. Armored knights ride dinosaurs to battle legions of war-trained Triceratops and their upstart peasant crews. Karyl Bogomirsky is one such knight who has chosen to rally those who seek a way from the path of war and madness.

Did the Earth become too cold for the dinosaurs? Maybe prehistoric mammals took the dinosaur eggs from the nests.

Welcome to paradise: A primordial world with every species of dinosaur, large and small. And humans who were brought to this world on the whim of the gods. Knights ride into battle on Triceratops; their heroes lead them on T-Rexes. Karyl Bogomirskiy is one such hero. Once, he held power. Betrayed by those closest to him, he was resurrected by the Fae, magical beings native to the world, who seek to use him in their eternal battle against alien gods. Karyl just wants to be left in peace, reluctant to be anyone's tool, much less a savior.
