LOCKED IN TIME is ONE year old today!  Featured here is one of my favourite fossils (and illustrations) in the book – the astounding ‘Babysitter’ bone bed containing multiple, exceptionally preserved baby Psittacosaurus dinosaurs that were buried alive by an ancient volcanic debris flow.  🌋  In the world of palaeo books, LOCKED IN TIME is entirely unique. It focuses on the real-life behaviours of ancient animals preserved in the fossil record, from elephant-sized burrowing ground sloths to dinosaur death pits and farting fossil insects (you read that correctly).  LIT is published by @columbiauniversitypress and illustrated by the wonderful @the_paleocreations . (The dino photo here is by Brandon Hedrick & LIT photo by @seiff_art .)  P.S. It was also hailed as one of “the best books about dinosaurs”, according to Professor Mike Benton.   #fossil #fossils #fossilhunter #fossils #paleontology #palaeontology #paleontologist #nature #jurassic #dinosaur #jurassicpark #prehistoric #dinosaurskull #ammonite #evolution #extinct #geology #fossilfriday #collecting #dinosaursofinstagram #fossilhunting #psittacosaurus #lockedintime
