Prehistoric monsters

"Over centuries, discoveries of fossil bones spawned legends of mythological monsters. Early fossilists appreciated prehistoric creatures such as Tyrannosaurus. This study examines how these beasts morphed in the public imagination into mythical, engines of destruction and harbingers of cataclysm, taking their place in popular culture, film, and literature as symbols of "lost worlds" where time stands still"--Provided by publisher.
