Customer Reviews

SuperCroc

It was interesting and I like how they compared the skull of the SuperCroc to human beings.

The croc of all crocs -

Paul Sereno's book on SUPERCORC is a great way to introduce students to the study of fossil hunting. The text is written to allow most grade ranges to become interested and not lose themselves. The pictures/photos bring to life the featured animal--so much so-- one wants to touch it. What Paul Sereno has done by bringing this "long tail" to the attention of students and parents should be enjoyed my many.
