The first book to approach the Cretaceous extinction -the period during which dinosaurs disappeared from Earth -from the perspective of the fossil record.Broadening the basis of information on the topic of the Cretaceous extinction, this book particularly highlights evidence that points away from the global catastrophic scenario, towards a fossil based theory suggesting that a multitude of factors resulted in the period's radical changes.
