La storia della vita in 25 fossili

Every fossil tells a story. A thoughtful and very unusual selection that focuses on vertebrates and dinosaurs, and reconstructs how life developed on Earth.

Donald R. Prothero is a Palaeontologist and Geologist. He teaches geological sciences at the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and works as a researcher at the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History. Prothero was one of the first palaeontologists to use the concept of palaeomagnetism in the study of Continental rocks, which has opened up the possibility of studying these rocks in the science and evolution of the climate.

He is the author or editor of more than 30 books and over 300 scientific articles, including at least 5 geology textbooks. For Aboca Edizioni, he has published Fossili fantastici e chi li ha trovati. La storia dei dinosauri in 25 scoperte straordinarie (2020).
