Fachbuch aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Paläontologie, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Gefiederte Giganten stehen im Mittelpunkt des Taschenbuches „Vogelriesen in der Urzeit“. Weibliche Tiere der Gattung Dinornis („Schreckensvogel“) auf Neuseeland gelten mit einer Höhe bis zu 3,60 Metern als größte Vögel aller Zeiten. Der Donnervogel Dromornis in Australien erreichte ein Lebendgewicht von maximal 570 Kilogramm und war deswegen der schwerste Vogel der Erdgeschichte. Mit einer Flügelspannweite bis zu 8 Metern gebührt dem Greifvogel Argentavis aus Argentinien die Ehre, der größte fliegende Vogel gewesen zu sein. Nicht ganz so imposant wirkte der größte Meeresvogel Pelagornis in Nordamerika mit einer Flügelspannweite von 6,40 Metern. Die größten Eier legte der weibliche Elefantenvogel Aepyornis auf Madagaskar: Sie waren bis zu 35 Zentimeter lang und ihr Inhalt entsprach demjenigen von 200 heutigen Hühnereiern. Hesperornis, der „Vogel des Westens“ in Nordamerika, trug noch Zähne. Angst und Schrecken verbreitete der Terrorvogel Phorusrhacos in Südamerika. Der lange Zeit als Räuber verkannte Laufvogel Gastornis existierte auch in Deutschland. Verfasser des Taschenbuches „Vogelriesen in der Urzeit“ ist der Wiesbadener Wissenschaftsautor Ernst Probst, der zahlreiche Werke über urzeitliche Tiere geschrieben hat.

In the Middle of a thick forest a pair of small dog-size animals happily nibble at the tender leaves of a low-growing bush. Above them, birds flit through the treetops, filling the hot, moist air with honks and shrill whistles. Another bird is also on the scene. But this one is quiet to stands upright, and not on a tree but next to it, on the ground. This bird is huge, at least 6 feet tall. Without pausing to think, the small animals whirl away from the bushes and start running wildly through the forest. Right behind them the feathered beast runs, its huge feet thundering on the ground. Nearly on top of the panicked animals, the bird opens it enormous beak and slices downward. The giant bird is Gastornis! Book jacket.

The Artist and the Scientists: Bringing Prehistory to Life presents the extraordinary lives and works of eminent paleontologists Patricia Vickers-Rich and Tom Rich, and Peter Trusler, one of the finest artists of scientific realism Australia has produced. Over more than thirty years, Patricia, Tom and Peter have travelled across Eastern Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa, Australia and New Zealand in search of the remains of early life, including fish, dinosaurs, birds and mammals. Their successful expeditions, and the many publications and exquisite artworks that have ensued, are a testament to their scientific methodology, thirst for knowledge and eye for detail. The book follows the development of selected works of art covering the last 600 million years of the geological record. Told from the viewpoints of both scientist and artist, the reader is given a unique insight into the process of preserving and recording the evolution of prehistoric life.

"Inspired by the spectacular discoveries of the past two decades from the Age of Reptiles in China, Riddle of the Feathered Dragons explores how these miraculous fossils have transformed the contentious arena of bird and dinosaur evolution. Aside from being the most comprehensive discussion of these avian and associated discoveries, the author delves into the world of investigative journalism to expose the darker side of the world of fossil birds and dinosaurs. The book exposes the massive unfounded speculation that has characterized the field of vertebrate paleontology and published extensively in the world's most prestigious journals, including everything from supposed dinosaur protein to so-called feathered dinosaurs. The book questions the validity of the foundational tenets of the now "unquestionable orthodoxy" of bird and dinosaur evolution, including bird origins, feathered dinosaurs, flight origin from the ground-up and hot-blooded dinosaurs and their proteins. It exposes how speculation has gone far beyond the ability of the currently available evidence to yield answers. The author concludes that birds are best defined by a more traditional definition of the possession of feathers and avian flight architecture, that the so-called "feathered dinosaurs" are most likely derived avians, and that flight clearly originated from the trees-down, from ancestors that antedated the dinosaurs, rather than a direct linear descent"--

Over millions of years, Australia's unique biodiversity has produced a large cabinet of curiosities. Among the weirder members of this group were the Mihirungs, members of the now extinct family Dromornithidae. Made up of several genera of flightless birds—among them one of the very largest birds that ever lived—the dromornithids ranged from 60-kilogram beasts, 1.5 meters tall, to giants twice that size, weighing nearly half a metric ton. They were, by orders of magnitude, the largest "geese" that ever lived. One species was comparable in size to the Ele-phantbird of Madagascar and the Giant Moa of New Zealand. This book is the first major study of this unique and highly diverse group. It aims to present as complete a synthesis as possible of current information about this fascinating family of birds.
