   978-1138608160This guide introduces analysis on creatures by depicting the science behind how we understand what we have insight of about creatures. A mixture of matters is included, from fossils and taphonomy to creature physiology, evolution, and extinction. Additionally, sedimentology, paleo-tectonics, and non-creature Mesozoic life are discussed. There is a special opportunity to utilize the passion for creatures that students bring to class to encourage a deeper engagement in all sciences. Students are urged to integrate information, employ critical thinking, form hypotheses, devise strategies to test these hypotheses, and arrive at new defensible conclusions, just as paleontologists do.
