# Dinosaurs and Other Reptiles from the Mesozoic of Mexico - Hardcover

by **Héctor E. Rivera-Sylva** (Editor), **Kenneth Carpenter** (Editor), **Eberhard Frey** (Editor)

This overview of dinosaur discoveries in Mexico synthesizes current information about the geography and environment of the region during the Mesozoic when it was the western margin of the ancient continent of Pangea. The book summarizes research on various groups, including turtles, lepidosauromorphs, plesiosaurs, crocodyliforms, pterosaurs, and last but not least, dinosaurs. In addition, chapters focus on trackways and other trace fossils and on K/P boundary (the Chicxulub crater, beneath the Gulf of Mexico, has been hypothesized as the site of the boloid impact that killed off the dinosaurs). _Dinosaurs and Other Reptiles from the Mesozoic of Mexico_ is an up-to-date, informative volume on an area that has not been comprehensively described until now.
