New Book of Texas Dinosaurs
Discover the sharks and mosasaurs that lived in the marine Big Bend before it became the Galveston-like coastal region filled with dinosaurs.
Imagine the forested Brazos River valley with enormous sauropods and pterosaurs.
After the dinosaurs became extinct a whole new crazy weird group of mammals appeared to fill in their niches in the ecosystem like bone-crushing dogs and hell pigs to name a few. Come discover ancient Big Bend.
