A crocodile the size of a schoolbus. A 2-ounce wild hedgehog. A flying reptile so huge its discoverer named it after the Northrop YB-49 “Flying Wing” bomber. A fish as big as a full-size car, with fangs wider than a human hand. All these creatures and many, many more once roamed Big Bend, and finally you can read all about them!

Inspired by Big Bend’s Fossil Discovery Exhibit, authors Cindi Sirois Collins and Asher Elbein and illustrator Julius Csotonyi have created a comprehensive guide to Big Bend’s storied fossil history. Far from a dry scientific catalog, the evocative prose and detailed illustrations create an immersive experience—it’s the next best thing to being there! In fact, considering that some of those super-crocs could run faster than a human, it’s probably a lot more fun than being there….
