This textbook introduces research on dinosaurs by describing the science behind how we know what we know about dinosaurs. A wide range of topics is covered, from fossils and taphonomy to dinosaur physiology, evolution, and extinction. In addition, sedimentology, paleo-tectonics, and non-dinosaurian Mesozoic life are discussed.

Mary Higby Schweitzer received her PhD from Montana State University and did much of her research at the world famous Museum of the Rockies, which houses one of the best dinosaur fossil collections. She is currently Professor in the Department of Bioogyical Sciences at North Carolina State University. She is famous for her controversial search for dinosaur macromolecules including proteins and DNA.
Elena R. Schroeter and Doug Czajka are both colleagues of Mary at North Carolina State University.
