Roar is the name of an amazing Triceratops fossil that was recently discovered and excavated. This book tells the whole story about Roar.
How did this herbivore with such an enormous head really live? How did it fare against enemies like the T-rex? And how do you actually find a fossil? Jørn Hurum is one of our foremost science communicators. In their well-known style Jørn and
Torstein takes us on an exciting journey back to the Cretaceous period. The book, which is illustrated by one of Norway’s most talented nature illustrators, also contains a wealth of exciting facts about discoveries and excavations of fossils, and about dinosaurs in general.
