Dinosaurs dominated every known terrestrial ecosystem for almost 150 million years - one of the most impressive success stories in the entire history of life on Earth, including the modern Age of Mammals. Beyond the scales, feathers, teeth, and claws, there is much to learn about the world in general and perhaps the place of humans in it by studying the Age of Reptiles. Examination of the dinosaurs themselves, the time in which they lived, their history, and the ways in which we study them. |
