Karen's book, "Dinosaur Hunt," is a fascinating illustrated glimpse into the lives of ancient animals, and features one of the most famous predator-prey confrontations from the Cretaceous. "Dinosaur Hunt" recounts the confrontation between Acrocanthosaurus and Pleurocoelus along a Cretaceous shoreline more than 65 million years ago. The fossilized footprints from this confrontation are preserved to this day, and can be seen at Dinosaur Valley State Park, in Glen Rose, Texas.
Karen's book tracks the life of Acrocanthosaurus from hatchling through maturity, and presents what may have happened along this famous trackway.
Paleontologists like R. T. Bird have used the Glen Rose trackway to learn about dinosaur strides and locomotion, and Karen's illustrations incorporate actual physical measurements of the animal's gaits and tracks. |
