Abstract

Paleontology is now a hot topic in movies, books, and comics.
This book introduces 120 kinds of paleontological creatures selected from all kinds of paleontological creatures from all over the world, including not only major "dinosaurs" such as the Tyrannosaurus, but also "mysterious creatures" that we can't even tell which side is the front, and "strange creatures" whose shapes are even cute. The book introduces 120 species selected from all kinds of ancient and modern creatures.
The exhibition introduces 120 species selected from all kinds of archaic creatures, both ancient and modern, that lived hard in the time before we humans were born, and unfortunately became extinct. I would have loved to have met them!
The book is written by science writer Ken Tsuchiya, supervised by paleontologist Akihiko Shibahara, and illustrator ACTOW, who also specializes in paleontology.
Please try to find your "favorite paleontology"!
Oh, I can't help but love them!
