This groundbreaking book presents the first-ever visual representations of dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles as they truly appeared. Until now, colors were purely speculative, but here, we rely on the latest research to present stunning images that showcase every intricate detail of color, pattern, feather, scale, and scute, derived from firsthand evidence.

Dinosaurs are not what you might imagine them to be – or, at the very least, they didn't look like you thought they did. The renowned paleontologist Michael J. Benton presents us with a new visual guide to the world of dinosaurs, revealing how rapid technological advancements and remarkable new fossil discoveries have forever transformed our perception of these ancient creatures. Stunning new illustrations by paleoartist Bob Nicholls bring these scientific discoveries to life in vibrant color.

No previous book has been so meticulous in its utilization of new data, finally revealing the true appearance of dinosaurs. From Sinosauropteryx, the first dinosaur to have its color patterns identified – a distinctive ginger and white striped tail – by Bentons team at Bristol University in 2010, to recent research on Kulindadromeus' mixed feathers and scales, this is the first book to be based on cutting-edge scientific research.

Each chapter focuses on a specific species, featuring a specially commissioned illustration that brings to life the latest scientific breakthroughs. Accompanying text explores how paleontologists have gained the ability to uncover new details, such as the patterns on skin and the colors of feathers, of animals that existed millions of years ago. This will serve as a visual compendium that will both surprise and challenge your previous understanding of what dinosaurs looked like and how they lived.

With over 150 illustrations in color, this book is a visual masterpiece that will captivate and educate readers of all ages.
