This reference work is the third supplement to Dinosaurs: The
Encyclopedia (a 1998 American Library Association Outstanding Reference
Book) and follows the intent and format of the encyclopedia and the
first two supplements. This continuation of what is now the standard
encyclopedia provides up-to-date concepts, based on the latest original
research of paleontologists, on such topics as the Mesozoic Era; new
discoveries, ideas and studies; ectothermy versus endothermy; dinosaurs
and birds; dinosaur extinctions; dinosaurian systematics; dinosaurian
genera; nomina nuda and excluded genera; and an appendix discussing
dinosaur tracks and eggs. Supplemental volumes do not repeat information
from earlier volumes, but build upon them: : view all volumes on the
