Dinosaurs of Africa

Beschreibung

As much of the African continent is covered in dense vegetation, dinosaur fossils have been relatively rare. Yet parts of the continent - the Sahara Desert, the dusty plains of Kenya and Tanzania and the sandstone flats of central South Africa - have yielded a significant number of dinosaur remains.
