Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia, a 1998 American Library Association Outstanding Reference Book, serves as the second supplement to this comprehensive reference work. Following the same intent and format as the encyclopedia and its first supplement, this continuation provides up-to-date concepts and evidence of dinosaur paleobiology and evolution. It presents a diverse range of competing positions, thoroughly referenced, and based on the latest original research conducted by paleontologists, particularly in dinosaur systematics, genera, and other related areas.

The content spans various topics, including the evolution of technology and research methods, the Mesozoic Era in general, new theoretical ideas, the ongoing dinosaur-bird debate, the causes and mechanisms of dinosaur extinctions, and the classification of nomen nudum and excluded genera. Unlike earlier supplemental volumes, this one builds upon the previous knowledge, offering a comprehensive and evolving perspective on the study of dinosaurs.
