ISBN10: 1857029631, ISBN13: 9781857029635, [publisher: HarperCollins Publishers, United Kingdom, London] Softcover The story of two nineteenth-century scientists who revealed one of the most significant and exciting events in the natural history of this planet: the existence of dinosaurs. In The Dinosaur Hunters Deborah Cadbury brilliantly recreates the remarkable story of the bitter rivalry between two men: Gideon Mantell uncovered giant bones in a Sussex quarry, became obsessed with the lost world of the reptiles and was driven to despair. Richard Owen, a brilliant anatomist, gave the extinct creatures their name and secured for himself unrivalled international acclaim. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Those fossils did not fit into the creationist paradigms of the day. Some early examples of fossils were sold as verteberries. The other confusing factor was some of the discoveries suggested creatures bigger than houses. Was that even possible. Further to these `knowledge-earthquakes' : in 1824 Reverend William Conybeare was confronted with the preserved skeleton of a plesiosaurus -a curiuos animal at best, with no antecedents known in England of the day.
