Many sites also reveal the highest density of bird and dinosaur track levels in the world. The book describes the significant advances in Cretaceous vertebrate ichnology and dinosaur research made in Korea over the past twenty years. Several dinosaur fossil sites have been excavated, and unique vertebrate fossils including dinosaurs and pterosaurs have been discovered. This landslide of discovery has resulted in a proliferation of papers on vertebrate tracks and remains from the Cretaceous of South Korea and the growing recognition that as a region it reveals multiple track-rich sequences of unique quality and scientific utility. Because of the outstanding ichnological resources in this region it has been dubbed the Korean Cretaceous Dinosaur Coast (KCDC), and many sites of national and international significance have been designated as national natural monuments of Korea. This book is written for geologists, paleontologists, ichnologists, geology and earth science students, and earth science teachers at high school, as well as the general reader interested in ancient life including the dinosaurs, birds, and pterosaurs of Korea. The goal of this book is to provide readers with a scientific understanding of Mesozoic life flourishing in the Korean Peninsula. To facilitate easy comprehension, the book contains many sketches, graphs, diagrams, photographs and tables and is supported by a comprehensive glossary. 606 $aPaleontology 606 $aGeobiology 606 $aVertebrates 606 $aHistorical geology 606 $aPaleontology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G39000 606 $aBiogeosciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35010 606 $aVertebrates$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25074 606 $aHistorical Geology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17020 615 0$aPaleontology. 615 0$aGeobiology. 615 0$aVertebrates. 615 0$aHistorical geology. 615 14$aPaleontology. 615 24$aBiogeosciences. 615 24$aVertebrates. 615 24$aHistorical Geology. 676 $a566 700 $aKim$b Jeong Yul$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059341 702 $aHuh$b Min$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299400403321 996 $aDinosaurs, Birds, and Pterosaurs of Korea$92505341 997 $aUNINA
